Frames

Frames

When using frames, it’s important that all content contained in them is accessible.

Testing

1. Identify all frames/ iframes on a page.
2. Using the keyboard, navigate to each frame to ensure content is accessible.
3. Check the title or name attribute of each frame for a description of the content.
4. check that the scrolling attribute is not set to no. scrolling=’auto’ is the best choice so those changing sizing can view all content.

Examples

FAILURE

<iframe src="../iframeform/"></iframe>

This iframe doesn’t have a title or name.

<iframe src="../iframeform/" name='Provide an address form'></iframe>

This name isn’t correct.

PASSES

<iframe src="../iframeform/" title='Provide Name Form'></iframe>

Correct title is provided. This would also pass if this information was in a name attribute.
