I’d really like to rant some more about the type of development teams that get too big for their britches [cough mozilla cough] like the WP team has done and refuse to admit something that JUST DOESN’T WORK IS A BUG… or at least a bad choice… but, my blood pressure is already too high from wasting yet another afternoon on what should have been a 15 minute posting process.

Have I mentioned lately that I hate the Mozilla Dev Team?

I fully support the Open Source Initiative, both in word and deed (financially). AND, I’m an all purpose hater of sell-outs. “-)

‘Nuff said.

This is the final entry in a series of 3 articles designed to help you embed a YouTube movie while maintaining (X)HTML standards compliance, then customizing the display of the movie and finally, providing alternate content for visitors unable to view the movie.

In this article we’ll add alternate content to the code that was modified in the first two articles. The purpose of providing alternate content is to allow for accessibility and/or for visitors whose browser is not configured to display a movie.

What is Alternate Content?

Alternate content is simply text or other content (for instance, an image) provided as an alternate representation of the object embedded within the page.

1. It is placed between the <object> </object> tag set, after any <param> elements and before the </object> tag.
2. There is no tag set or attribute label related to this content, it is placed directing into the <object> tag set just like placing content in a <p> tag set!
3. The alternate content is what will be displayed in the browser when your visitor does not have the capability to view the object being called by the <object> element.

You can use an image, add a link, even use other elements in the alternate content… anything that is valid under (X)HTML coding guidelines. It’s actually a nice touch to use all of the above – an image, a link and text – for maximum accessibility.
