UAAG 1.0 Requirement

Checkpoint 2.3 Render conditional content (Priority 1 )
Provision 1 : Allow configuration to provide access to each piece of unrendered conditional content "C".
Provision 2 : When a specification does not explain how to provide access to this content, do so as follows: If C is a summary, title, alternative, description, or expansion of another piece of content D, provide access through at least one of the following mechanisms: (1a) render C in place of D; (2a) render C in addition to D; (3a) provide access to C by allowing the user to query D. In this case, the user agent must also alert the user, on a per-element basis, to the existence of C (so that the user knows to query D); and (4a) allow the user to follow a link to C from the context of D. Otherwise, provide access to C through at least one of the following mechanisms: (1b) render a placeholder for C, and allow the user to view the original author-supplied content associated with each placeholder; (2b) provide access to C by query (e.g., allow the user to query an element for its attributes). In this case, the user agent must also alert the user, on a per-element basis, to the existence of C; and (3b) allow the user to follow a link in context to C.

Test 1 :

Procedure

  1. Disable frames, reload the page, and determine if the content of the NOFRAMES element is available to the user.
  2. Most user agents will provide access to the NOFRAMES information by rendering this content automatically.

Run test

(Test contained within the frameset document.) Link to the test frameset

Expected results

  1. When frames are disabled, the conditional content contained within the NOFRAMES element should be displayed.

Source code

<frameset rows="70%, 30%">
<frame name="head" src="0203-NOFRAMES-SRC.html" title="NOFRAMES Test Suite Information" scrolling="yes"/>
<frame name="target1" src="../frames/frame-target1.html" title="Frame Test Suite Target 1" scrolling="no"/>
<noframes>
<div class="message">When frames are disabled or not supported by a user agent, this message--nested within NOFRAME elements--should appear.</div>
</noframes>
</frameset>
