To "close" and "open" the mobile Nav Menu class in Webflow, you can use a combination of interactions and custom code. Here are a few workarounds you can implement:

Animated Menu Icon: Create a custom interaction where clicking on the menu icon triggers an animation that transforms it into a close icon. You can achieve this by using different states and transitions. When the icon is clicked again, it triggers another animation that transforms it back into the menu icon.
Interactions with Hide/Show Elements: Use interactions to hide and show the mobile Nav Menu class. When the hamburger menu icon is clicked, create an interaction that shows the mobile menu by setting its display property to "block" or "flex". When it is clicked again, the interaction hides the mobile menu by setting its display property to "none".
Custom Code with jQuery: If you're comfortable with custom code, you can utilize jQuery to achieve the "closing" and "opening" effect. When the menu icon is clicked, you can use jQuery's addClass() and removeClass() functions to toggle a class that controls the visibility of the mobile Nav Menu class.
Webflow's Built-in Navigation Widget: You can leverage Webflow's built-in Navigation widget to achieve the "closing" and "opening" effect. By default, this widget automatically handles the mobile menu behavior when the hamburger menu icon is clicked. All you need to do is style the menu and set the correct breakpoint for the mobile menu to be shown.

Remember to implement proper accessibility practices when creating mobile menus. Adding ARIA attributes and keyboard support can help make your navigation more user-friendly for those using assistive technologies.
