Element: ariaColCount property

The ariaColCount property of the Element interface reflects the value of the aria-colcount attribute, which defines the number of columns in a table, grid, or treegrid.

Value

A string.

Examples

In this example the aria-colcount attribute on the element with an ID of semantic-table is set to "2". Using ariaColCount we update the value to "3".
