Element.ariaSelected

The ariaSelected property of the Element interface reflects the value of the aria-selected attribute, which indicates the current "selected" state of elements that have a selected state.

element.ariaSelected = ariaSelected

Examples

In this example the aria-selected attribute on the element with an ID of tab-id is set to "true". Using ariaSelected we update the value to "false".

<button role="tab" aria-selected="true" aria-controls="tabpanel-id" id="tab-id">Tab label</button>
let el = document.getElementById('tab-id');
console.log(el.ariaSelected); // true
el.ariaSelected = "false";
console.log(el.ariaSelected); // false
