Element: ariaRowSpan 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 ariaRowSpan
property of the Element
interface reflects the value of the aria-rowspan
attribute, which defines the number of rows spanned by a cell or gridcell within a table, grid, or treegrid.
Value
A string which contains an integer.
Examples
In this example the aria-rowspan
attribute on the element with an ID of spanning-heading
is set to "3". Using ariaRowSpan
we update the value to "2".
html
<table>
<tr>
<th id="spanning-heading" rowspan="3" aria-rowspan="3">Spanning heading</th>
<th>Heading</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>One</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Two</td>
</tr>
</table>
js
let el = document.getElementById("spanning-heading");
console.log(el.ariaRowSpan);
el.ariaRowSpan = "2";
console.log(el.ariaRowSpan);
