Remarks

Buttons with a defined IHTMLElement5::ariaPressed state can be toggled. (When IHTMLElement5::ariaPressed is true the button is down, when false it is up.) Simple command buttons do not need to define a IHTMLElement5::ariaPressed state.

Note For cross-browser compatibility, always use the WAI-ARIA attribute syntax to access and modify ARIA properties, for example object.setAttribute("aria-valuenow", newValue).
