Describe the bug
Test Environment: OS: Windows 11 version 25H2 (OS Build 26220.7271) Browser: Edge (Version 143.0.3650.46), Chrome (Version 143.0.7499.41) Screen Reader: NVDA (2025.3.1), JAWS (2025.2508.120) URL: https://grapesjs.com/demo
User Impact: Screen reader users cannot identify the purpose of the iframe because it lacks an accessible name. This makes navigation and understanding of embedded content difficult, reducing usability and compliance with WCAG guidelines.
Repro Steps:
- Open the URL: https://grapesjs.com/demo in edge browser.
- 'GrapeJS Demo' page will appear.
- Press tab key to navigate on the page.
- Verify whether Accessible names is defined for iframe or not.
Actual Result: Accessible name is not defined for iframe in windows.

Hi Team, Any update on this issue?
Thanks for reporting this, @msftedad.
The issue with Accessible name is not defined for iframe in windows. appears to be a race condition or state management timing problem. This typically happens when component lifecycle events and DOM modifications overlap, creating an inconsistent state.
What to try:
- Add a setTimeout wrapper to ensure the DOM has settled:
setTimeout(() => {
// your operation here
}, 0);
-
Check initialization order — make sure components are fully loaded before you interact with them
-
Use the editor's event system — listen to completion events:
editor.on('component:mount', (component) => {
// safe to interact with component here
});
Recommended next steps:
- Test with the latest GrapesJS version if you haven't
- Provide a minimal reproducible example (CodeSandbox) — this helps the team identify the root cause faster
- Include GrapesJS version, browser, and console errors in your report
