Detailed View for rule: OBJECT with valid CONTENT

OBJECT with valid CONTENT |
Section 508 1194.22(a); WAI / WCAG 1.0 checkpoint 1.1
Issue Description The page contains OBJECT elements without a valid description between the <OBJECT> and </OBJECT> tags.
How to fix Insert a meaningful description inside the <OBJECT> tag. The ALT description should convey the same information as the object embedded and it should explain the role the object plays in the page: why it's 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.

Objects included in this document don't have corresponding valid descriptions. A valid description is an HTML fragment between the <OBJECT> and </OBJECT> tags that contains the following:

- At least one word
- Another object
- A link to a valid alternative representation

A valid description doesn't contain placeholder text (see http://www.w3.org/TR/AERT#AppendixC).
