Foundation: Problems combining responsive top-bar and tab-bar Menus
I am trying to create a new site template based on Zurb's Foundation 5 that has two menus - a top menu and a left menu. That is working for medium and large sizes, but for 'small' I'm trying to hide the top menu with a top-right "hamburger", and then the left menu to work in a similar manner but from the top-left. This is what it looks like at the moment:
The top right works fine, except only the 'hamburger' menu-icon is clickable. The "MENU" text next to it, is not.
The top left has a couple of problems. Only the text that I add appears and is clickable ("TOG" here). The menu-icon does not appear. I guess I could replace "TOG" with "PAGES" as a workaround.
Second, when I click on it to open the menu, it pushes the top bar down one row to cover the title and leaving a white space at the top. Ie.:
Here's my code (very much work in progress - logos will be replaced with images, etc):
<div class="off-canvas-wrap" data-offcanvas>
<div class="inner-wrap">
<div class="fixed">
<nav class="top-bar " data-topbar role="navigation">
<section class="left-small hide-for-medium-up">
<a class="left-off-canvas-toggle menu-icon" href="#"><span>TOG</span></a>
</section>
<section class="middle tab-bar-section hide-for-medium-up">
<h1><a href="/">LOGO</a></h1>
</section>
<ul class="title-area">
<li class="name">
<h1 class="hide-for-small"><a href="/">Logo</a></h1>
</li>
<li class="toggle-topbar menu-icon"><a href="#"><span>Menu</span></a></li>
</ul>

Does anyone have any thoughts as to what is causing my problems?
As far as i do understand you're trying to use Foundation's Off-canvas (menus) in a manner it is not intended.
It seems you are looking for a mobile menu which can be toggled.
Off-canvas (menus) are a layout structure. When the menu shows up the complete layout moves to the left / right. For that reason you content should be wrapped in the Off-canvas (menus) structure:
From http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/offcanvas.html:
<div class="off-canvas-wrap" data-offcanvas>
<div class="inner-wrap">
<a class="left-off-canvas-toggle" href="#" >Menu</a>
<!-- Off Canvas Menu -->
<aside class="left-off-canvas-menu">
<!-- whatever you want goes here -->
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Item 1</a></li>
...
</ul>
</aside>
<!-- main content goes here -->
<!-- close the off-canvas menu -->
<a class="exit-off-canvas"></a>
</div>
</div>
See the <!-- main content goes here --> in the above. You can try to rebuild your example as follows:
<!doctype html>
<html class="no-js" lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>Foundation</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/app.css" />
<script src="bower_components/modernizr/modernizr.js"></script>
</head>

Possible also how to make bootstrap off canvas nav overlap content instead of move it will help you further.
