Responsive Off-Canvas Slide Menu with jQuery and CSS3

Yet another jQuery & CSS3 responsive off-canvas sliding menu system that supports 3-tier sub-menus based on nested Html lists. As you click the menu button, a vertical sidebar menu slides out from the left side of your browser window with an overlay covering your main content.

How to use it:

1. Create a toggle button to open the off-canvas menu.

<div id="menu-toggle">
  <div id="menu-icon"> <span></span> <span></span> <span></span> <span></span> <span></span> <span></span> </div>
  Menu 
</div>

2. Create an overlay for the main content that will focus your visitors on the off-canvas menu.

<div id="menu-overlay"></div>

3. Create the Html for a multi-level off-canvas menu using nested Html unordered lists.

<ul id="menu">
  <li><a href="#">Visit My Site</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">No children...</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Hey - this one has some kids!</a>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">I'm a kid!</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">I'm a kid!</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Got kids of my own...</a>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="#">I'm a grandkid!</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">I'm a grandkid!</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">I'm a grandkid!</a></li>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

4. Wrap the main content in a container with unique ID of 'page-content'

<div id="page-content">

  Your main content goes here

</div>

5. The CSS/CSS3 rules to style the off-canvas menu.

$(document).ready(function(){
  
  // NAVIGATION MENU
  
  // menu icon states, opening main nav
  $('#menu-icon').click(function(){
    $(this).toggleClass('open');
    $('#menu,#menu-toggle,#page-content,#menu-overlay').toggleClass('open');
    $('#menu li,.submenu-toggle').removeClass('open');
  });
  
  // clicking on overlay closes menu
  $('#menu-overlay').click(function(){
    $('*').removeClass('open');
  });
  
  // add child menu toggles and parent class
  $('#menu li').has('ul').addClass('parent').prepend('<div class="submenu-toggle">open</div>');
  
  // toggle child menus
  $('.submenu-toggle').click(function(){
    var currentToggle=$(this);
    currentToggle.parent().toggleClass('open');
    currentToggle.toggleClass('open');
