Element: ariaRowSpan property
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since October 2023.
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>
<thead>
<tr>
<th id="spanning-heading" rowspan="3" aria-rowspan="3">
Spanning heading
</th>
<th>Heading</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>One</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Two</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
js
let el = document.getElementById("spanning-heading");
console.log(el.ariaRowSpan);
el.ariaRowSpan = "2";
console.log(el.ariaRowSpan);
