Element: ariaLabel 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 ariaLabel
property of the Element
interface reflects the value of the aria-label
attribute, which defines a string value that labels the current element.
Value
A string or null
.
Examples
In this example the aria-label
attribute on the element with an ID of close-button
is set to "Close". Using ariaLabel
we update the value to "Close dialog".
html
<button aria-label="Close" id="close-button">X</button>
js
let el = document.getElementById("close-button");
console.log(el.ariaLabel); // "Close"
el.ariaLabel = "Close dialog";
console.log(el.ariaLabel); // "Close dialog"
