Element: ariaPressed property
Baseline 2023Newly available
Since October 2023, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.
The ariaPressed property of the Element interface reflects the value of the aria-pressed attribute, which indicates the current "pressed" state of toggle buttons.
Value
A string with one of the following values:
"true"-
The element is pressed.
"false"-
The element supports being pressed but is not currently pressed.
"mixed"-
Indicates a mixed mode value for a tri-state toggle button.
"undefined"-
The element does not support being pressed.
Examples
In this example the aria-pressed attribute on the element with an ID of saveChanges is set to "false" indicating that this input is currently not pressed. Using ariaPressed we update the value to "true".
