Accessibility Checking for Large Sites
Rocket Validator integrates
axe-core version 4.4,
which currently checks 96
accessibility rules, into an automated web site scanner.
Accessibility rules tagged as WCAG: 2.4.1, 4.1.2.
All frame
or iframe
elements in the document must have a title that is not empty to describe their contents to screen reader users.
Screen reader users rely on a frame title to describe the contents of the frame
. Navigating through frame
and iframe
elements quickly becomes difficult and confusing for users of this technology if the markup does not contain a title
attribute.
Screen reader users have the option to pull up a list of titles for all frames on a page. Adding descriptive, unique titles allows users to quickly find the frame they need. If no titles are present, navigating through frames can quickly become difficult and confusing. If no title is listed, screen readers will instead give information like “frame,” “JavaScript,” the filename, or the URL. In most cases, this information won’t be very helpful.
