Frames should be tested
What is the problem?
The "frame-tested" accessibility rule requires that <iframe> and <frame> elements contain a JavaScript file that can be used to test the accessibility of the content within the frame.
Impacted Groups
Why is this important?
If the content within a frame is not accessible, screen reader users may not be able to access the information or interact with the elements within the frame. This can limit their ability to use the website and access the same information as sighted users. Accessibility issues can only be automatically audited if they can be accessed by the platform.
How to solve this issue
To fix this issue, you need to ensure that the content within the frame is accessible and that the frame itself is configured correctly. You may need to add a JavaScript file to the frame that can be used to test the accessibility of the content.
