How to Fix the Problem

Add a title attribute to the <iframe> element

The Algorithm, in Simple Terms

Why Is it Important?

The title attribute of the iframe element describes its contents. This provides a label so users can determine which iframe to enter and explore in detail

<frame src="/example_"nav.html" title="menu" />
