Element: ariaOrientation property

{{APIRef("DOM")}}

The ariaOrientation property of the {{domxref("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".

<div
  id="handle_zoomSlider"
  role="slider"
  aria-orientation="vertical"
  aria-valuemin="0"
  aria-valuemax="17"
  aria-valuenow="14"
  tabindex="0">
  <span>11</span>
</div>

let el = document.getElementById("handle_zoomSlider");
console.log(el.ariaOrientation); // "vertical"
el.ariaOrientation = "horizontal";
console.log(el.ariaOrientation); // "horizontal"
