A document with an object element in an image map. The object element embeds an image in PNG format, and contains another object element that embeds the GIF version of the same image. This second object element contains only the image map. The object elements do not have a title attribute or any other text alternative except the alt attributes of the map's area elements. Alternative text for two nested objects with image map inside innermost object Christophe.Strobbe@esat.kuleuven.be en Copyright BenToWeb 2005-2007 2005-08-26 integrate feedback How to specify alternate text General Inclusion: The object element How to create client-side image maps Client-side image maps: the map and area elements

It is not entirely clear if this test case fails. The innermost object element does not contain an img element with an alt attribute, but it contains the image map, and each area in the image map has an alt attribute that conveys the same information as the area, and the image itself is identified in the text above it. In addition, browser support for the object element may determine if this test case is accessible or not. Internet Explorer (version 6 or earlier) has weak or no support for the object element.

The image has a text description in the sentence preceding it.

The object element has an img element with an alt attribute as a fallback. Since there is no direct text alternative, it is not entirely clear if this code is accessible.

This test case is identical to sc1.1.1_l1_014, except that the fallback image has been removed from the innermost object element.

(In Mozilla 1.7.3 and Firefox 1.0, the map does not work if the map element has only an id and no name attribute.)

(Internet Explorer 6.0 does not support object so the test does not work in this browser - tested on both Windows 2000 and Windows XP Professional.)

The image has a text description in the sentence preceding it. User testing with screen reader users provided the following results: most users of speech output could understand the image, but most users (5 out of 6) of a Braille display could not. (All were users of Internet Explorer 6 or 7.)
