title: "ElementInternals: ariaColSpan property"
short-title: ariaColSpan
slug: Web/API/ElementInternals/ariaColSpan
page-type: web-api-instance-property
browser-compat: api.ElementInternals.ariaColSpan
---
{{APIRef("Web Components")}}
The **`ariaColSpan`** property of the {{domxref("ElementInternals")}} interface reflects the value of the [`aria-colspan`](/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-colspan) attribute, which defines the number of columns spanned by a cell or gridcell within a table, grid, or treegrid.
> **Note:** Setting aria attributes on `ElementInternals` allows default semantics to be defined on a custom element. These may be overwritten by author-defined attributes, but ensure that default semantics are retained should the author delete those attributes, or fail to add them at all. For more information see the [Accessibility Object Model explainer](https://wicg.github.io/aom/explainer.html#default-semantics-for-custom-elements-via-the-elementinternals-object).
## Value
A string which contains an integer.
## Examples
In this example the value of `ariaColspan` is set to "2".
```js
this.internals_.ariaColspan = "2";
```
