Hi Petra
the no frames guideline came about because earlier versions of screen
readers including jaws didn't cope at all well with frames and I think it's
a safe bet that there's still lots of people out there using this old
technology particularly people who have purchased software with grants for
education and the like and now can't aford to upgrade to latest versions
themselves.

Subject: Frams on Websides and Screen Readers


Hello,

In documants about web accessebility I comme offten across the advice
not to use frame in Websides.
I am a JAWS user mayself and I prefore to have frame on a webside
because their help me to navigate the side.
Are there still Screen Readers whitch cand handle Frames in use by blind
people or what is the reason for advising not to use frames on a webside

Best regards
