Folks,



I have a 3rd party video player embedded in a page using a frame. I have the
below questions to get your thoughts on them.



1. Should the page inside the frame have <html lang="en-us"> or is it
okay if we leave that alone? Of course, it is being flagged as an error.

2. Should the same page have a title element in the head element? That
title element is being read by screen readers as the frame title. I was
unable to mask it with <iframe title="Some Text">.

3. Of course, the developers added tabindex of 1 and higher to the
buttons in the video player. I have not tested this, but it should be safe
to remove those and let the browser assign them. The order should remain as
page links, video buttons, page links.



Thanks.
