Hello,

I have this web site www.astraroger.ro and I'm having problems
passing WCAG Priority Level 1.
The main problem is the Flash animation on the homepage. WCAG
requires a text alternative to .

Does anyone know how can I pass Level 1?

Kindest regards,
Razvan Pop

Hi Razvan,

With in the element you need to put an image or text in there to
provide an alternative to the flash.

eg...

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/first.swf" width="707"
height="267" title="Flash Movie Animation">

<img src="/flashalt.gif" width="707" height="267" alt="Flash Move
Animation Alternative" />


Marc.

Ive been using the tag to insert alternate text.

or using the tag because Im testing with javascript to see
wether flash is installed.
