FRAMESET should have valid NOFRAMES |
WAI / WCAG 1.0 Priority 2 checkpoint 6.5
Issue Description The <NOFRAMES> element is not present or it does not contain a link to an alternative version of the page.
How to fix A valid NOFRAMES section should exist within the outer FRAMESET section. Remember that a NOFRAMES section is valid if it: contains at least one word of text or accessible HTML code; provides the necessary links to navigate the site; does not tell the users that they should upgrade to a browser that supports frames. A NOFRAMES element that does not contain links prevents the reader from accessing the same navigation options offered to those with frames-enabled browsers. Consider adding the following HTML code before the last </FRAMESET> tag in the document:
         <NOFRAMES>
         <P>Here is the <A href="main-noframes.html">
                  non-frame based version of the document.</A></P>
         </NOFRAMES>
Issue Explanation Without specifying a <NOFRAMES> element, the site may appear as a blank page to users with browsers unable to handle frames, such as early versions of popular browsers and current special-purpose browsers like voice-enabled computers and browsers for PDAs. The <NOFRAMES> element should be used to provide users of browsers unable to handle frames an alternative way to access the site, possibly with degraded graphic and interaction quality. For example, a <NOFRAMES> element containing text stating that the page cannot be displayed by the browser being used does not help users access the page.
