Element: ariaLabel 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 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"
