Web Accessibility: Frames
Provide Frame Descriptions
If the purpose of the frames and how they relate to each other is not obvious by the frame titles alone, use LONGDESC to provide a further description.
For example:
<FRAMESET ROWS="20%, 80%">
<FRAME SRC="navigate.html" TITLE="Navigation Bar" LONGDESC="frame-desc.html#navbar">
<FRAME SRC="content.html" TITLE="Main Content" LONGDESC="frame-desc.html#main">
</FRAMESET>
A frame-desc.html might state something like:
#navbar - this frame provides links to the major sections of the site: Career Information, Job Opportunities, and Resources.
#main - this frame displays the currently selected selection.
