Remarks
| Used in Roles |
|
|---|
Buttons with a defined aria-pressed state can be toggled. (When aria-pressed is true the button is down, when false it is up.) Simple command buttons should not define a aria-pressed state.
Note The presence of the aria-pressed attribute affects the behavior of accessibility and automation tools. The attribute should not be used carelessly.
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). See also
