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.

Value
A string with one of the following values:
Examples
In this example the aria-busy attribute on the element with an ID of clock is set to "false". Using ariaBusy we update the value to "true".
html
<div
id="clock"
role="timer"
aria-live="polite"
aria-atomic="true"
aria-busy="false"></div>
js
let el = document.getElementById("clock");
console.log(el.ariaBusy); // false
el.ariaBusy = "true";
console.log(el.ariaBusy); // true
