link tag in html file

When you link an external stylesheet to an HTML file, in the <link> tag you don't have to put type="text/css"? Some of my textbooks say you should put rel, type, and href in your link tags, but some of the treehouse videos, they are not using type attribute. Is there a difference?

Hi Ken,

From the W3 - link element

type - Hint for the type of the referenced resource

In other words, it is optional.

Cheers
