Element: ariaValueNow property

Baseline 2023
Newly 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 ariaValueNow property of the Element interface reflects the value of the aria-valuenow attribute, which defines the current value for a range widget.

Value

A string which contains a number.

Examples

In this example the aria-valuenow attribute on the element with an ID of slider is set to "1". Using ariaValueNow we update the value to "2".

html
<div
  role="slider"
  aria-valuenow="1"
  aria-valuemin="1"
  aria-valuemax="7"
  aria-valuetext="Sunday"></div>
js
let el = document.getElementById("slider");
console.log(el.ariaValueNow); // 1
el.ariaValueNow = "2";
console.log(el.ariaValueNow); // 2
