According to Trusted Tester 12D, what is required for every iframe to be accessible?

• A. There is a sufficient accessible name and description for each <iframe>
• B. iFrames must include a visible caption
• C. iFrames require a title attribute only
• D. iFrames must be exempt from accessibility checks

Answer: (A)

Providing an accessible name and description for each iframe lets screen readers identify the frame and explain its purpose to the user. The accessible name tells what the embedded content is, and the description offers context about what’s inside or what the frame does, so users know how it relates to the page and what to expect when they interact with it. A visible caption isn’t required, and relying on a title attribute alone isn’t reliable across all assistive technologies, so it doesn’t meet the standard by itself. Frames should not be exempt from accessibility checks; labeling and describing every iframe ensures equitable access.
