Element: ariaSelected property
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since October 2023.
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.
Value
A string with one of the following values:
"true"-
The item is selected.
"false"-
The item is not selected.
"undefined"-
The item is not selectable.
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".
html
<button role="tab" aria-selected="true" aria-controls="tabpanel-id" id="tab-id">
Tab label
</button>
js
let el = document.getElementById("tab-id");
console.log(el.ariaSelected); // true
el.ariaSelected = "false";
console.log(el.ariaSelected); // false
