Property values
Type: String
A space-separated list of id property values.
Remarks
This property defines element relationships and associations that cannot be readily determined from the document structure.
The
ariaControls property is used primarily by elements where the
role property value is group, region, or widget. Compare this usage with that of the
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).
