Object Accessible Name Check
Description
The “Object Accessible Name Check” evaluates whether all <object>
elements contain accessible text alternatives.
Example outcome
I observed that all <object>
elements have an alternative text equivalent.
Impact
- Visual Impairments: Visually impaired individuals cannot access non-text content without an alternative. May miss information if zoom or high contrast modes can’t render the object content.
- Cognitive Disabilities: Lack of context or labels may cause confusion.
Fixes
To address <object>
elements missing an accessible name:
- Locate the
<object>
element. - Add a fallback text or equivalent content within the element.
