Element.ariaRowIndexText

The ariaRowIndexText property of the Element interface reflects the value of the aria-rowindextext attribute, which defines a human readable text alternative of aria-rowindex.

Value

A string.

Examples

In this example the aria-rowindextext attribute on the element with an ID of role-heading is set to "Heading row". Using ariaRowIndexText we update the value to "Updated heading row".
