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

When viewing frames, the values of the LONGDESC attribute must be available through the user interface.
Most user agents will provide access to the LONGDESC information by providing access to the document whose URI is contained by the LONGDESC attribute, or through querying the frame in a context senstive menu.

Run test

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

Expected results

The conditional content associated with the LONGDESC attribute must be available for each frame.
This information should be used to provide access to the external document containing the frame description.
