Element: ariaMultiSelectable property
Baseline 2023
Newly available
Since October 2023, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.
The ariaMultiSelectable
property of the Element
interface reflects the value of the aria-multiselectable
attribute, which indicates that the user may select more than one item from the current selectable descendants.
Note: Where possible use an HTML <select>
element as this has built in semantics and does not require ARIA attributes.
Value
Examples
In this example the aria-multiselectable
attribute on the element with an ID of listbox1
is set to "true" indicating that this input accepts multiple selected items. Using ariaMultiSelectable
we update the value to "false".
html
<div role="listbox" tabindex="0" id="listbox1"
aria-multiselectable="true" aria-labelledby="listbox1label" aria-activedescendant="listbox1-1">
<div role="option" id="listbox1-1" class="selected" aria-selected="true">Green</div>
<div role="option" id="listbox1-2">Orange</div>
<div role="option" id="listbox1-3">Red</div<
</div>
js
let el = document.getElementById("listbox1");
console.log(el.ariaMultiSelectable); // "true"
el.ariaMultiSelectable = "false";
console.log(el.ariaMultiSelectable); // "false"
