If you examine the W3C WAI Page Authoring Guidelines, it does indeed mention how to make frames accessible: http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/ A.9.1: For frames, provide a fallback page for pages that contain frames (e.g., by using NOFRAMES in HTML at the end of each frameset). [Priority 1] A.9.2: For frames, ensure that the source of each frame is a markup file, such as HTML. [Priority 1] B.1.1 Name each frame so that users can keep track of frames by name (e.g., via the "title" attribute on HTML FRAME elements). [Priority 1] B.1.2: Describe the purpose of frames and how frames relate to each other if it is not obvious by frame names alone. (e.g., in HTML, use "longdesc". Until "longdesc" is widely supported, also use a d-link or invisible d-link). [Priority 2] -- B.K.
