TheariaBrailleLabel property of theElement interface reflects the value of thearia-braillelabel attribute, which defines the ARIA braille label of the element.

This element label may be used by assistive technologies that can present content in braille, but should only be set if a braille-specific label would improve the user experience.Thearia-braillelabel contains additional information about when the property should be set.

Value

<string>

The value is a string, an unconstrained value type, that is intended to be converted into braille.

Examples

Getting and setting ariaBrailleLabel

This example shows how to get and set theariaBrailleLabel property.

HTML

First we define a button with label text "3 out of 5 stars" and anaria-braillelabel attribute with a value of"\*\*\*".This allows a braille display to show "btn ***" in braille rather than the more verbose "btn gra 3 out of 5 stars".

<button aria-braillelabel="\*\*\*">3 out of 5 stars</button>

<pre></pre>

#log {  height: 100px;  overflow: scroll;  padding: 0.5rem;  border: 1px solid black;}

JavaScript

const logElement = document.querySelector("#log");function log(text) {  logElement.innerText = `${logElement.innerText}${text}\n`;  logElement.scrollTop = logElement.scrollHeight;}

The code then uses the button'sariaBrailleLabel property to first get and log the braille label.It then sets the braille label to "3*" and logs the value again.

const button = document.getElementById("button");log(button.ariaBrailleLabel);button.ariaBrailleLabel = "3*";log(button.ariaBrailleLabel);
