object
Documents that load media with the object element, when the media format is
not an accessibility-supported content technology.
This technique relates to:
If object is used, provide a text
alternative in the content of the element:
This example shows a text alternative for a Java applet using the object
element.
Example Code:
<object classid="java:Press.class" width="500" height="500">
As temperature increases, the molecules in the balloon...
</object> This example takes advantage of the fact the object elements may be nested
to provide for alternative representations of information.
Example Code:
<object classid="java:Press.class" width="500" height="500">
<object data="Pressure.mpeg" type="video/mpeg">
<object data="Pressure.gif" type="image/gif">
As temperature increases, the molecules in the balloon...
</object>
</object>
