Hi, During a rewrite of the Danish guidelines for creating accessable web pages, made by the Statens Infomation, the agency that is responsible for the Danish national information policies, we have found problems with the WAC guideline concerning the use of the title tag used to identify frames. In Denmark the only screenreader for blind is JAWS for Windos. We have found that JFW does not recognize the title tag when used on frames but it does recognize the name tag. So we started out discussion weather we should follow JFW or the WAI guidelines. One of the members in the group has examined the html 4.01 specification and claims that there is no reference to the title tag at all. Is there a reason why the title tag has been preferred over the name tag when using frames? And will we degrade other access issues if we stick to the html 4.01 and recommend the use of the name tag when designing pages with frames?
