Hey, Chaddy! about frames -

[Joe (GKF)]

How does JAWS handle framed sites? Is getting to the navigation frame a
pain or is it actually better than a regular site?
Or somewhere in between?
BTW - I like the colours on your test site. Sure it's InYourFace, but I
don't agree with those who say the colours clash.

Hmmmm, I think like anything web-related (A part from Flah), which to
any convensional screen reader is still harder access, frames can be
mayed more accessible to Jaws, they just need to be well named. But,
frames are very out-dated technology and really should be replaced by
server side processing and frankly, so should form validation,
considering how inexpensive hosting is today. Well, depending on how
much traffic the site gets.

Cool, thanks, it's for a new project of mine that i'm working on.

So, you're saying that JAWS handles frames ok?

Of course - I'm not going to USE the bloody things; I just wondered if I
can add "frames don't work well in JAWS" to my list of "why frames
suck". It seems I can't.
