Frames
When using frames, it’s important that all content contained in them is accessible.
Testing
- Identify all
frames
/iframes
on a page. - Using the keyboard, navigate to each frame to ensure content is accessible.
- Check the
title
orname
attribute of each frame for a description of the content. - check that the scrolling attribute is not set to no. scrolling=’auto’ is the best choice so those changing sizing can view all content.
