See Understanding Techniques for WCAG Success Criteria for important information about the usage of these informative techniques and how they relate to the normative WCAG 2.0 success criteria. The Applicability section explains the scope of the technique, and the presence of techniques for a specific technology does not imply that the technology can be used in all situations to create content that meets WCAG 2.0.
Documents that load plugins with the embed
element.
This technique relates to:
The objective of this technique is to provide alternative content for the
embed
element in a noembed
element. The noembed
is rendered
only if the embed
is not supported. While it can be positioned anywhere on the
page, it is a good idea to include it as a child element of embed
so that it is
clear to assistive technologies that a text alternative is associated with the
embed
element it describes.
Example Code:
<embed src="../movies/history_of_rome.mov"
height="60" width="144" autostart="false">
<noembed>
<a href="../transcripts/transcript_history_rome.htm">Transcript of "The history of Rome"</a>
</noembed>
</embed>
Example Code:
<embed src="moviename.swf" width="100" height="80"
pluginspage="http://example.com/shockwave/download/" />
<noembed>
<img alt="Still from Movie" src="moviename.gif"
width="100" height="80" />
</noembed>;

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.
