Element: ariaValueNow 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 ariaValueNow property of the Element interface reflects the value of the aria-valuenow attribute, which defines the current value for a range widget.

Value

A string which contains a number.

Examples

In this example the aria-valuenow attribute on the element with an ID of slider is set to "1". Using ariaValueNow we update the value to "2".

html
<div
  role="slider"
  aria-valuenow="1"
  aria-valuemin="1"
  aria-valuemax="7"
  aria-valuetext="Sunday"></div>
js
let el = document.getElementById("slider");
console.log(el.ariaValueNow); // 1
el.ariaValueNow = "2";
console.log(el.ariaValueNow); // 2
