Section 508: (i)                                                              BACK


STANDARD
Frames shall be titled with text that facilitates frame identification and navigation.

-- Consistent with WCAG 12.1
APPLICATION

Should you use frames at all?  Not necessarily.  Very little you can do in frames that you can’t do with CSS or layout tables.  Many users find frames annoying.  In order to facilitate reasonable navigation of a frame site each frame element in the frameset needs a meaningful title and name attribute.  Each frame page should be given a title that helps the user understand the frame's purpose.

Method:
Use “Title” and "Name" attributes in FRAME tag.

<frameset cols="30%, 60%"> <frame src="navlinks.html" name="navlinks" title="Navigational Links Frame"> <frame src="geninfo.html" name="contents_page" title="Contents Frame">
</frameset>
