| Title | Content should not cause seizures due to photosensitivity |
|---|---|
| Description | A page with an applet element that includes a flashing applet. The applet flashes several times per second.
Below the applet is an instruction that tells the user that clicking on the applet will stop the flashing (and this mechanism works).
(This test uses the same applet as xhtml1_wcag2_20050630_2.3_l2_sc1_005 but embeds it in an applet element instead of an object element.
The applet element is more widely supported.)

This test case is intended to fail because it contains an object that can cause seizures due to photosensitivity.
“Rules” refer to success criteria in WCAG 2.0, checkpoints in WCAG 1.0 and similar requirements.
The test case fails the following success criterion at line 8, column 6: http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-WCAG20-20050630/#flicker-does-not-violate.
Content potentially causes seizures due to photosensitivity.
object element includes flickering Applet.
The test case fails the following success criterion at line 8, column 6: URL unknown!.
Content potentially causes seizures due to photosensitivity.
object element includes flickering Applet. Apparently, Mozilla (1.7.3), Firefox (1.0) and Internet Explorer (6.0) don't load the applet; Opera 8 seems to load an applet but shows a grey area instead of the content.
