Element: ariaValueText 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 ariaValueText property of the Element interface reflects the value of the aria-valuetext attribute, which defines the human-readable text alternative of aria-valuenow for a range widget.

Value

A string.

Examples

In this example the aria-valuetext attribute on the element with an ID of slider is set to "Sunday" to give a human-readable value for the range. Using ariaValueText we update the value to "Monday".

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