WAI-ARIA: Role=Time
An element that represents a specific point in time.
Description
An element that represents a specific point in time.
NOTE: At the present time, there are no WAI-ARIA properties corresponding to the datetime attribute supported on <time> in [HTML]. The addition of this property will be considered for ARIA version 1.3.
Authors SHOULD limit text contents to a valid date- or time-related string, or apply this future datetime-equivalent property to the element which has role time.
Examples of valid date- or time-related strings as text contents of an element with the time role:
- A valid month string:
2019-11 - A valid date string:
2019-11-18 - A valid yearless date string:
11-18 - A valid time string:
09:54:39 - A valid floating date and time string:
2019-11-18T14:54 - A valid time-zone offset string:
-08:00 - A valid global date and time string:
2019-11-18T14:54Z - A valid week string:
2019-W47 - Four or more ASCII digits, at least one of which is not U+0030 DIGIT ZERO (0):
0001 - A valid duration string:
