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.
