[color=#333333]Evening everyone,

We have a requirement to be w3c accessibility priority 1&2 compliant and the validation in VFE is one tool we use to help enforce compliancy. Our clients use VFE 5.1.0.41 on windows XP with IE 6.0. Teamsite 6.7.2 is on Windows 2003 server. The clients must use object tags to be compliant but then all validation gets halted at the first instance of an object with the following:

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0, Guideline 1 An object element should contain some descriptive text.

What is it looking for? Desc, alt, longdesc, ... are not valid with object tags and it has a title.
Here is an example of an object that passes w3c but not VFE:

[/HTML]


I've spent the afternoon mining the Ektron dev center, these forums and Autonomy's support center but I guess I'm not wording my query correctly as I'm not finding anything useful.

Anyone have a constructive suggestion as to how to get validation to accept the object?

Thank You
Susan

I think I've got it. For whatever reason ektaccesseval.xslt has

[HTML]

[/HTML]

which gives the error if something is between the object tags (params or text). I changed it to

[HTML]

[/HTML]

which I think now accomplishes what is needed: to display something in case the object does not display.

Thank You
