Element: ariaAtomic property
Baseline 2023Newly available
Since October 2023, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.
The ariaAtomic
property of the Element
interface reflects the value of the aria-atomic
attribute, which indicates whether assistive technologies will present all, or only parts of, the changed region based on the change notifications defined by the aria-relevant
attribute.
Value
Examples
In this example the aria-atomic
attribute on the element with an ID of "clock"
is set to "true". Using ariaAtomic
we update the value to "false".
html
<div id="clock" role="timer" aria-live="polite" aria-atomic="true"></div>
js
let el = document.getElementById("clock");
console.log(el.ariaAtomic); // true
el.ariaAtomic = "false";
console.log(el.ariaAtomic); // false
