MDN / Element: ariaMultiSelectable property

The ariaMultiSelectable property of the [` {{APIRef(“DOM”)}}

The ariaMultiSelectable property of the {{domxref(“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/

Where possible use an HTML {{htmlelement(“select”)}} element as this has built in semantics and does not require ARIA attributes/

Value

A string with one of the following values:

  • "true"

    • : More than one item may be selected at a time/

    "false"

    • : Only one item may be selected/

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”/

<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>
