This object contains the properties that can be used for the ARIA label attributes that are applied to the pagination controls in DataTables. This can be useful when you use the language.paginate options to alter the default pagination button text to show icons rather than text, as the ARIA label attributes ensure that accessibility will still be retained. Prior to DataTables 2, the pagination buttons contained plain text descriptions and thus the parameters in this object contained no values. With DataTables 2's change to use a UTF-8 icon to represent the first, last, previous and next buttons, the defaults for the parameters in this object were updated to include descriptive text.

Set the ARIA label attribute for the previous pagination button. This can be particularly useful for cases where you wish to show an icon such as « or ‹ in the button itself, while retaining full accessibility. Please note that the default value was updated for DataTables 2 to contain a value (previously it was an empty string) due to the use of a UTF-8 character being used for display in the button.

This option can be used to set a WAI-ARIA label for the number buttons in the DataTables pagination control that represent a page number (i.e. the button simply shows a number). This can be useful to add context to what clicking on the button in the paging control will do. The number that the table's page will jump to when the button is triggered is appended to the end of the string given here. If the value is empty (as is the default case), no aria-label attribute will be added to the numbered paging buttons.

Set the ARIA label attribute for the next pagination button. This can be particularly useful for cases where you wish to show an icon such as » or › in the button itself, while retaining full accessibility. Please note that the default value was updated for DataTables 2 to contain a value (previously it was an empty string) due to the use of a UTF-8 character being used for display in the button.

Set the ARIA label attribute for the last pagination button. This can be particularly useful for cases where you wish to show an icon such as » in the button itself, while retaining full accessibility. Please note that the default value was updated for DataTables 2 to contain a value (previously it was an empty string) due to the use of a UTF-8 character being used for display in the button.

Set the ARIA label attribute for the first pagination button.
