Fixing XHTML Parsing Error on Chrome: "Specification mandate value for attribute async"

This error message on Google Chrome console:

Specification mandate value for attribute async

That would happen if we generated XML page which acted as HTML, or XHTML. And we forgot to define the value for a particular HTML element attribute.

In this case, the value for async attribute (in script element).

It looked like this

Earlier, it was like this:

<script type="application/javascript" src="/my-app-folder/theApp.js" async></script>

And the XHTML page wouldn't be rendered. It was just blank, but still with the XML attached (if we view the page source/inspect element).

The solusheeon

To fix that, put the value for that attribute. Like so:

<script type="application/javascript" src="/my-app-folder/theApp.js" async="async"></script>

Or:

<script type="application/javascript" src="/my-app-folder/theApp.js" async="1"></script>

On other browser

On Firefox or IE10+ or Safari or other, it has different error message. But that's the general method to fix it.
