That script is not working fine on windows phone 8. menu is not getting opened for this. Please suggest. Also that is not working for IE version

Thanks @miix -- Updated the Gist.

How can the menu automatically be closed when I click on one of the buttons in menu ?

please help. how to do the same using mousehover instead of click? please help

After some hours I got a solution to close the sidebar with the same button.
I changed
classie.addClass(container, 'st-menu-open');
to
classie.toggleClass(container, 'st-menu-open');

With no effect. Then I changed

container.className = 'st-container';
to
container.id = 'st-container';

Now it works! I can open and close with the same button.
(I made a burger icon)

`buttons.forEach(function(el, i) {
var effect = el.getAttribute('data-effect');

        el.addEventListener(eventtype, function(ev) {
            ev.stopPropagation();
            ev.preventDefault();
            container.id = 'st-container'; // ORIGINAL:  container.className = 'st-container';
            classie.add(container, effect);
            setTimeout(function() {
                classie.toggleClass(container, 'st-menu-open'); // FIX: Vorher: addClass
            }, 25);
            document.addEventListener(eventtype, bodyClickFn);
            //closeMenu.addEventListener(eventtype, closeMenuClickFn);
        });
    });`
