Element: ariaColIndex property
The ariaColIndex
property of the Element
interface reflects the value of the aria-colindex
attribute, which defines an element's column index or position with respect to the total number of columns within a table, grid, or treegrid.
Value
A string which contains an integer.
Examples
In this example the aria-colindex
attribute on the element with an ID of role-heading
is set to "1". Using ariaColIndex
we update the value to "2".
