Property values

Type: BSTR

A space-separated list of IHTMLElement::id property values.

Standards information

• Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.0, Section 6.6

Remarks

This property defines element relationships and associations that cannot be readily determined from the document structure.

The IHTMLElement5::ariaControls property is used primarily by elements where the IHTMLElement5::role property value is group, region, or widget. Compare this usage with that of the IHTMLElement5::ariaOwns property.

Note  For cross-browser compatibility, always use the WAI-ARIA attribute syntax to access and modify ARIA properties, for example object.setAttribute("aria-valuenow", newValue).
