Element: ariaRowCount 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 ariaRowCount
property of the Element
interface reflects the value of the aria-rowcount
attribute, which defines the total number of rows in a table, grid, or treegrid.
Value
A string which contains an integer.
Examples
In this example the aria-rowcount
attribute on the element with an ID of semantic-table
is set to "100", representing the total number of rows in the table, rather than the currently visible rows. Using ariaRowCount
we update the value to "101".
