noembed with embed
Documents that load plugins with the embed element.
This technique relates to:
Note: Although embed is widely supported in user agents - it is not a valid part
of HTML or XHTML.
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>;No resources available for this technique.

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.
