Accessibility: Sidenav button not a button and missing collapsed status The button to open the sidebar is not a button but a link. Can this be a button? The first menu-item in the sidebar is collapsable, but the colapsed status isn't passed to the screenreaders. Can the aria-expended attribute used for this purpose? See example

Hi, We are using an anchor like a button so if you want change anchor to a button it's not a problem you can use a button. If you are using a screenreader collapsable doesn't work? Best, Piotr
