OBJECT with equivalent CONTENT | |
Section 508 1194.22(a); WAI / WCAG 1.0 checkpoint 1.1 | |
Issue Description The description contained between the <OBJECT> and </OBJECT> tags of the OBJECT elements on the page should be an equivalent description of the objects themselves. |
|
How to check
Insert a meaningful description inside <OBJECT> tag. The ALT description should convey the same information as the object embedded, and it should explain the role the object plays on the page: why it is there, what it represents, how it presents the information. |
|
Issue Explanation The OBJECT element's design offers a mechanism for specifying alternate object renderings. Each embedded OBJECT declaration may specify alternate content types. If a browser cannot render the outermost OBJECT, it tries to render the contents, which may be another OBJECT element, etc. |
