Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
Guideline 12. Provide context and orientation information.
Complex pages and elements may be difficult for someone to interpret if they don't know the context or the orientation of a webpage. In order to help users understand each page, an appropriate title should appear and be clear enough for them to tell what the page is about(1). If a title is not sufficeint in describing the purpose of a frame, then use the longdesc attribute to describe the goal of the frame(2). Larger blocks of information should be broken down into smaller groups where appropriate. Headings, nested lists, and form controls are all examples of ways to break larger bodies of information into smaller, more manageable bodies(3). Labels should have a definite association with their controls (such as using the "for" attribute(4).
All pages that are used in your website should have a title that tells what the page is about (in a general sense, making sure not to be to wordy). If using frames, these should also have a title associated with them. Also, using a longdesc on frames can help tell the user the use of each frame and how they relate to each other. Option elements inside a select element grouped together inside an optgroup element, form controls inside a fieldset or legend, lists nested where appropriate, and headings to keep the content in an orderly fashion are all important to a webpages overall usability. Also, any labels used should be matched with their controls by using a "for" element.
