This is a fairly complex tag. The nested tags are customized to the type of content
being loaded. (A Flash file, for instance, would have a different set of parameters than the
QuickTime file.) The depreciated tag complicates matters by duplicating the
information to satisfy older versions of Netscape and Microsoft Explorer. As you might
imagine, alternative browsing devices do not do well here.
In order to make multimedia files even a tiny bit accessible, you need to start with the
basics. First, any wording within the tag is considered alternative text, similar in
purpose to an image??™s alt attribute. In fact, this content is not limited to pure text. Other
HTML code??”like in the following example??”can provide alternative content if the multimedia
file fails to load.
