for:
frames are no longer the access barrier they once were for screenreaders infact
as the big ones can use them as a navigation aid they are in some instances a
benefit
against:
inline frames are oft used to deliver adverts or other annoying distractions so
where possible screenreader users may set them to be ignored, for example I do
this in JFW on a number of sites. obviously if this happens then the user
either won't know there is a form on the page, or will be confused by their
inability to find the form they expected to be there.
issues other than for screenreader users though such as frames and mobile
devices for example.

Hi all
Could anyone tell me a good accessibility reason why in-line frames shouldn't
be used for forms?
Thanks
Barry
