Description Indicates whether a text box accepts multiple lines of input or only a single line. Note: In most user agent implementations, the default behavior of the ENTER or RETURN key is different between the single-line and multi-line text fields in HTML. When user has focus in a single-line <input type=”text”> element, the keystroke usually submits…
Description New in ARIA 1.1 Indicates whether an element is modal when displayed. The aria-modal attribute is used to indicate that the presence of a “modal” element precludes usage of other content on the page. For example, when a modal dialog is displayed, it is expected that the user’s interaction is limited to the contents…
Description Indicates that an element will be updated, and describes the types of updates the user agents, assistive technologies, and user can expect from the live region. The values of this attribute are expressed in degrees of importance. When regions are specified as polite, assistive technologies will notify users of updates but generally do not…
Description Defines the hierarchical level of an element within a structure. This can be applied inside trees to tree items, to headings inside a document, to nested grids, nested tablists and to other structural items that may appear inside a container or participate in an ownership hierarchy. The value for aria-level is an integer greater…
Description Identifies the element (or elements) that labels the current element. See related aria-describedby. The purpose of aria-labelledby is the same as that of aria-label. It provides the user with a recognizable name of the object. The most common accessibility API mapping for a label is the accessible name property. If the interface is such…

If the current value is not known (for example, an indeterminate progress bar), the author SHOULD NOT set the aria-valuenow attribute. If the aria-valuenow attribute is…
