The Guideline technique doc then says Refer to 4.10.4 Always make the source of a frame an HTML document . First of all, I've got a wcag question. Although I agree with 4.10.4, requiring HTML, what does it have to do with checkpoint 6.2, updating dynamic content? Also, looking at 4.10.4, it's not enough to have a cgi, pl, etc suffix because cgi scripts can produce anything, including images, which are (properly) forbidden by 4.10.4. Len ------- Leonard R.
