Remarks
| Used in Roles | button |
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 should not define a IHTMLElement5::ariaPressed state.
Note The presence of the IHTMLElement5::ariaPressed 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).
