Element: ariaColIndex 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 ariaColIndex
property of the Element
interface reflects the value of the aria-colindex
attribute, which defines an element's column index or position with respect to the total number of columns within a table, grid, or treegrid.
Value
A string which contains an integer.
Examples
In this example the aria-colindex
attribute on the element with an ID of role-heading
is set to "1". Using ariaColIndex
we update the value to "2".
