I seem to have come across a problem regarding javascript and using widgets (im using Yesod 0.7.3). I add javascript to widgets normally with addJulius, however when they get added into the head of the website, the tags that enclose the javascript code are <script> Instead of <script type="text/javascript"> I also think this is the reason why the javascript is not executing on my website Also unless I am missing something would it be possible to implement a function like addJulius but instead of adding it to the script to the <head> html page, the javascript gets concatenated into a .js file (which is returned by some route).

Two good questions. For the first: <script> should be supported in all browsers just as well as <script type="text/javascript">. The reason Yesod uses the former is that it's the "HTML5" version, which is favored since it is (1) less bytes and (2) functionally equivalent. If you're experience problems from this, I'd be very interested to see an example. For appending to an external file instead: this is supported by Yesod via the addStaticContent[1] method of the Yesod typeclass. It's a bit tricky to get all the details right; I would recommend looking at the scaffolded site, which does just that. (Run yesod init.)
