Element: ariaPressed property
Value
A string with one of the following values:
-

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".
html
<div id="saveChanges" tabindex="0" role="button" aria-pressed="false">Save</div>
js
let el = document.getElementById("saveChanges");
console.log(el.ariaPressed); // "false"
el.ariaPressed = "true";
console.log(el.ariaPressed); // "true"
