Foundation - Close Button
Description
The Close button is used when you want something to go away by clicking on it. Close button is a <button> element, which uses the .close-button class. The multiplication symbol (×) is used as the X icon which will be enclosed within the aria-hidden = "true" attribute, so the X icon will not be read by screen readers. To clarify the purpose of the button, it is labeled with aria-label.
Clicking on close button will not close the element, but it can be used with Toggler, Reveal, Off-canvas and other plugins that includes open/close actions.
