Subject: validation of frames pages
No previous message | Next message →
I am trying to validate a dynamic frames page (3rd party) and was wondering
if I need to validate the frameset code, each frame's code, or both the
frameset code

MessageTroy,
If your goal is to ensure that all documents are valid, then yes, the
frameset pages should be run against a validator as well.

Troy,
Validate both.
Validate the frameset to ensure users whose assistive technology can
tell where to go, e.g., meaningful frame descriptions like
"navigation" and "content"
Validate the frames to ensure these are usable and their navigation
and content are accessible. For example, an all too common error is
for the frame title to be the default provided by the development
tool, e.g., "Welcome to Adobe GoLive". While, the developer and user
with a graphical browser see the title for the frameset, users of
assistive technology may use the frame title, if provided and
meaningful, to locate themselves.
