RE: title for empty frames

On all frames I would use both title and name attribute. Also titles on the
frame pages. This is because currently a preponderance of assistive
technology is either using name or title on pages and NOT using the title
attribute.

That said, even an empty frame will appear in frame lists, so put the
informative name="EmptyFrame" title="Empty Frame" for that one.

Subject: title for empty frames


I'm fixing up frame title tags on an existing page. There seems to be
at least one frame in the page which is empty - sort of like a spacer
image. (I didn't make the page, I'm just trying to fix it up a bit,
so no rude comments please!)

Would it be best to treat this like a spacer image and give it

<frame src="nocontent.html" title="">

??   Suggestions would be most welcome.

Cheers
