Frame/IFrame longDesc Property

Frame/IFrame Object

Definition and Usage

The longDesc property sets or returns the value of the longdesc attribute in a frame/iframe element.

The longdesc attribute specifies an URL to a page that contains a long description of the content of an frame/iframe.

Note: The longdesc attribute is so poorly supported that it should not be used.

Syntax

frameObject.longDesc=URL

or

iframeObject.longDesc=URL

Browser Support

The longDesc property is supported in all major browsers.

Example

Return the value of the longdesc attribute:

<html>
<body>

<iframe id="myframe" src="/default.asp" longdesc="w3s.txt">
<p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>

<p>The URL of the long description is:
<script>
document.write(document.getElementById("myframe").longDesc);
</script>
<p>

</body>
</html>
