Accessible Frame Navigation

When disable people who use assistive technology visit a FRAMESET page, they must choose which frame to open from a list of frames on the page. You must provide meaningful frame titles, so that disable users can easily identify the frame they want to open.

To achieve this:

include meaningful titles on the source page for each frame by using the TITLE element
assign a meaningful TITLE and NAME attribute for each FRAME element on the FRAMESET. page

For example:

<HEAD> <TITLE>A simple frameset document</TITLE> </HEAD> <FRAMESET> <FRAME src="logo.html" title="company logo" name="company logo"> <FRAME src="navigation.html" title="navigation" name="navigation"> <FRAME src="maincontent.html" title="main content" name="main content"> <NOFRAMES> This page contains three frames which can be accessed separately.<br> The first frame is our <A HREF="logo.html">Company logo</A><br> The second frame is for <A HREF="navigation.html">navigation</A><br> The third frame is for the <A HREF="maincontent.html">main content</A> <NOFRAMES> </FRAMESET>
