Can we get the HTML WG to change the example given for IFRAME in the HTML 4.01 spec (and also in HTML 4.0) that reads: For user agents that support frames, the following example will place an inline frame surrounded by a border in the middle of the text. <IFRAME src="foo.html" width="400" height="500" scrolling="auto" frameborder="1"> [Your user agent does not support frames or is currently configured not to display frames. However, you may visit <A href="foo.html">the related document.</A>] </IFRAME> The idea that "Your user agent does not support frames" is an acceptable IFRAMES/NOFRAMES message should be strongly discouraged for accessibility's sake; instead, a valid "NOFRAMES-like" equivalent to the embedded frame should be included instead of a link to the IFRAME'd document. -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://www.kynn.com/ Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain Internet http://www.idyllmtn.com/ Catch the Web Accessibility Meme! http://aware.hwg.org/ Seeking the Best Internet Dog of 1999! http://www.virtualdogshow.com/
