property of the Element
interface reflects the value of the aria-description
attribute, which defines a string value that describes or annotates the current element.
A string.
ExamplesIn this example the aria-description
attribute on the element with an ID of close-button
is set to the string "A longer description of the function of this element". Using ariaDescription
we can update the value.
<button
aria-label="Close"
aria-description="A longer description of the function of this element"
id="close-button">
X
</button>
let el = document.getElementById("close-button");
console.log(el.ariaDescription); // "A longer description of the function of this element"
el.ariaDescription = "A different description";
console.log(el.ariaDescription); // "A different description"
