DRRSAG Designations:
Use “aria-” attributes according to the WAI-ARIA specification
The engine is searching for attributes using the “aria-” prefix which do not match the WAI-ARIA specification. For example aria-dontexsist=“true”
Users who use assistive tools, such as screen readers rely on exposure of the states and properties to understand the context, such as a radio button selected, an invalid form field. Exposing the state and properties attributes enables users to understand the widget and how to interact with it.

class="example_toggleButton"

aria-pressed="false"
