The proxy handler defines the {{jsxref(\"Proxy/Proxy/set\", \"set()\")}} handler.\n\nWhen we assign an HTML element to view.selected, the element's 'aria-selected' attribute is set to true. If we then assign a different element to view.selected, this element's 'aria-selected' attribute is set to true and the previous element's 'aria-selected' attribute is automatically set to false.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from MDN Web Docs under CC-BY-SA-2.5.
