The ariaPressed property of the Element interface reflects the value of the aria-pressed attribute, which indicates the current "pressed" state of toggle buttons.
Note: Where possible use an HTML <input> element with type="button" or the <button> element as these have built in semantics and do not require ARIA attributes.
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.
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"
