Element: ariaOrientation property
Baseline 2023
Newly available
Since October 2023, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.
The ariaOrientation
property of the Element
interface reflects the value of the aria-orientation
attribute, which indicates whether the element's orientation is horizontal, vertical, or unknown/ambiguous.
Value
A string with one of the following values:
"horizontal"
-
The element is horizontal.
"vertical"
-
The element is vertical.
"undefined"
-
The element's orientation is unknown.
Examples
In this example the aria-orientation
attribute on the element with an ID of handle_zoomSlider
is set to "vertical
". Using ariaOrientation
we update the value to "horizontal
".
html

id="handle_zoomSlider"
