Correct me if I'm wrong here, but it's not _frames_ which are no good, it's

the software that the visually-impaired browsers use, in this instance.

Ergo, if their software won't read out "I have found two frames - pagemenu

and pagecontent", then that's a software issue and not the problem of the

website author.


Perhaps more obviously, nasty things like Flash or non-resizable screen

fonts _are_ worth worrying about for visually-impaired users. Removing the

Flash, and making the fonts re-sizeable (size=2 rather than size=10pt) is

pretty easy. (Though I currently sit in a greenhouse. Put those stones down.

We're working on it.)


Is this getting off-topic? Mmm, thought so.
