Fixit – No Frames

Frames are not supported on many mobile devices, and using them may have unpredictable results. Frames are also considered as being generally problematic. This test checks that your page does not use frames.

Using frames

Frames can be used to display the contents of one page within an area of another page. Frames are specified using the <frameset> and <frame> tags, or using the <iframe> tag.
If your markup contains any of these tags, then this test will fail, so the solution is to remove these tags completely from your page.

Reference

This test is based on a W3C mobileOK best practice. See http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#NO_FRAMES for more details.
