object elementDocuments that load media with the object element.
This technique relates to:
The objective of this technique is to provide a text alternative for content rendered using the object element. The body of the object element can be used to provide a complete text alternative for the object or may contain additional non-text content with text alternatives.
Example Code:
<object classid="http://www.example.com/analogclock.py">
<p>Here is some text that describes the object and its operation.</p>
</object>Example Code:
<object classid="http://www.example.com/animatedlogo.py">
<img src="staticlogo.gif" alt="Company Name" />
</object>
Example Code:
<object data="companylogo.gif" type="image/gif">
<p>Company Name</p>
</object>Resources are for information purposes only, no endorsement implied.
Check that the body of each object element contains a text alternative
for the object.
#1 is true.
If this is a sufficient technique for a success criterion, failing this test procedure does not necessarily mean that the success criterion has not been satisfied in some other way, only that this technique has not been successfully implemented and can not be used to claim conformance.
Techniques are informative—that means they are not required. The basis for determining conformance to WCAG 2.0 is the success criteria from the WCAG 2.0 standard—not the techniques.
