What to change
Request a clearly named menu control whose expanded state matches the visible menu and remains understandable to assistive technology.
A worked example
Illustrative example
A control identified as Menu reports its expanded state when navigation opens and returns to collapsed when the visitor closes the panel.
How to check the result
Accept when the control and panel agree after activation, navigation and resizing, with a usable keyboard route through the available choices.
A mistake to avoid
Changing a hamburger into a cross may help sighted visitors but does not by itself communicate state through assistive technology.
Your action checklist
Use these checks to prepare a discussion with your team or supplier. Tick a check when you have recorded the decision or evidence, rather than when a feature has simply been promised.
