JAWS does it in two ways. You can navigate frame in IE by using Ctrl+tab and JAWS will respond by
announcing the frame or you can use use Ins+F9 to bring up the frames dialog. I forget which is which, but
one way you hear the title and the other you hear the name. I usually recommend that both be added and
be identical.
