Frames must have an accessible name
What is the problem?
The frame-title rule ensures that <iframe> and <frame> elements have an accessible name. This name is used by screen readers to identify and describe the content within the frame.
Impacted Groups
Why is this important?
Screen reader users rely on accessible names to understand the context of content within frames. Without a clear name, users may be unable to determine the purpose of the content or navigate within the frame.
How to solve this issue
To fix this issue, you can use the title attribute on the <iframe> or <frame> element to provide a descriptive name.
