Checkpoint 1.10 - Mobile-PDA

Frames allow the page to be divided up into discrete logical units. However frames make it difficult for some computing technologies to navigate, it is difficult for search engines to index frames, and saving a web page in the Favourites list can often result in only saving one of the frames that makes up the web page. In addition, many mobile devices do not support frames.

Requirement

No frames are used

Recommendation

Server side includes (SSI) and other techniques can be used for loading local content. In place of a frameset to display separately linked content, create a hyperlink directly to this other site.

Checking Tool

View the source code of the page for frames-related elements, such as frameset and iframe elements.
