HTML frame longdesc Attribute
HTML <frame> tag
Definition and Usage
The longdesc attribute specifies the URL of a page that contains a (long)
description of the frame.
This attribute is used for browsers that does not support frames (like text
only browsers or non-visual browsers).
The title tag is a useful describing frame pages, however, for longer and
more detailed descriptions it is recommended to use the longdesc attribute and a
separate page.
