WCAG 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value Level A

Who this affects

An iframe has no name, so it is announced only as "frame" when a user moves into it.

How to fix it

Add a title attribute to the iframe describing what it contains.

How much work is it?

Usually a content edit. That is a rough guide for planning, not an estimate for your codebase. A single content edit repeated across a template is a template change.

What a person still has to check

Passing this rule does not mean 4.1.2 passes. Automation checks part of the criterion, and the rest is a judgement:

Use a screen reader on each custom control and confirm its name, role, and state are announced.

Read 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value in plain language

Where this check comes from

This is an axe-core rule. We run axe in a real browser on every page we scan. Deque’s reference for frame-title

Find out whether your site does this

A scan checks this rule on every page it visits, and shows you the code and a screenshot of each place it fires.
