Checkpoint 12.1 - Title each frame to facilitate frame identification and navigation

How do I do it?

Simply title each frame of a frameset using a title attribute.

<FRAME src="nav.htm" title="Navigation bar">
<FRAME src="doc.htm" title="Documents">
<NOFRAMES>
<A href="about.htm" title="about dreamweaver summer classes"> Select to find out about Dreamweaver Summer Classes</A>
</NOFRAMES>
</FRAMESET>
