frame-tested

Description

The frame-tested rule requires you to ensure that your accessibility scanning tool processes the content of all <frame> and <iframe> elements. These elements load separate web pages. If you do not include this embedded content in your scan, your accessibility report will be incomplete, and you will miss potential barriers for users of assistive technology.

The rule aligns with WCAG Success Criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value).

Examples

In the following example, a separate page ““/user-login-form.html” is loaded using an iframe. If you have not run accessibility tests on this page, the accessibility tests are incomplete.

How to fix

To fix violations of the frame-tested rule, follow these steps:

• Verify Tool Settings: Check the configuration of BrowserStack Accessibility testing. Ensure that you have set the tool to traverse and scan the document object model (DOM) within all found <frame> and <iframe> elements.

• Ensure Embedded Content is Compliant: Verify that the web page loaded within the frame’s src attribute is itself fully accessible and compliant with all relevant accessibility standards.
