- 4.1.2.a
Rule
The state of user interface components must be programmatically determinable by assistive technologies.
Background
When a button has a visual "pressed" state, that information must also be conveyed programmatically for screen reader and other assistive technology users.
How to Fix
Fix this issue by adding the aria-pressed attribute to the button element and setting its value to "true" when the button is pressed.
