Element.ariaPressed

The ariaPressed property of the Element interface reflects the value of the aria-pressed attribute, which indicates the current "pressed" state of toggle buttons.

Syntax

var ariaPressed = element.ariaPressed;
element.ariaPressed = ariaPressed

Value

A DOMString 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".

<div id="saveChanges" tabindex="0" role="button" aria-pressed="false">Save</div>

let el = document.getElementById('saveChanges');
console.log(el.ariaPressed); // "false"
el.ariaPressed = "true"
console.log(el.ariaPressed); // "true"
