There must be something going on within that webpage other than frames to make it inaccessible. I have written WebPages that have had both standard and in line frames that are 100% accessible. Thos pages have worked on every version of JAWS I have had from 4.7 to 11. There are some experts that say using frames is a bad design choice. I agree that frames were and still are greatly abused, especially to steal content. Used sparingly and wisely, I see nothing inherently wrong with frames.

Hi,

Which version of what browser are you using? According to JAWS11 which I'm using with Internet Explorer 8, there are two frames. It appears
to read both of them, and the second frame appears to contain the links
to content on the site; and the links to there seem to work also.  (Many
of the links have the same or similar names or labels.  I don't know if
this is an authorial matter.)  There are 159 links, and they are all
'spoken'.  I can't recall another particular multi-frame page at the
moment; but can recall that JAWS11 (and 10, and versions prior, in my
experience) do go on to speak other frames when they are encountered in a
page.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS since version 7 doesn't read pages with
frames


Hi,
JAWS for windows has problems reading pages with frames, since version 7
to
at least version 10.
If you go to page http://www.enfis.it/cue-splitter-tutorial/, you'll see
that these versions of JAWS only read the first frame. It means they
don't
read the content of the page. This happens in many more web pages that
use
frames.
Is there any workaround to this problem? Note that JAWS 6.20 read these
pages correctly, but it's an older version.

Thanks.
Best regards,
Sérgio Neves
