WCAG 4.1.2 · Level A

Frames must have an accessible name

An embedded frame (often a map, video or app widget) has no title, so screen reader users don't know what it contains.

What this rule checks

Ensure <iframe> and <frame> elements have an accessible name.

Why it matters

WCAG 4.1.2 requires frames to have an accessible name.

How to fix it

  1. Add a title attribute describing the frame's content.
  2. If a third-party app inserts the frame, ask the vendor to add the title.

How to check the fix

  • Re-scan the affected pages.

How FixReports finds it

Our scan runs the axe-core rule frame-title in a real Chrome browser on every page it tests, and reports each failing element with its page, its markup and, where it applies, a screenshot.

An automated test confirms that this specific problem is present. It can't tell whether the rest of the page is accessible: some barriers only show up when a person checks the page.
