how to create responsive site with foundation

Hi,
This is my first post here.
I've been trying to find a tutorial to build a responsive site with
http://foundation.zurb.com integrated in CMSMS.
I downloaded the files and inserted the {CMSFoundation} tag and installed CMSFoundation but nothing happens.
Where do I start?
It is confusing. The download from foundation.zurb.com contains css img ans js folders. Where do I upload these files and what do I do?
Any help is appreceated.
Thanks
Dutchie.

Not sure where you get the idea to use a {CMSFoundation} tag as I have never heard of that...
Most frameworks need you to copy the CSS/style sheets into new style sheets, make a template using their class/ID calls and attach their stylesheets to it, anything else like JS or images would go in the /uploads/ folder...

I would agree with Dr.CSS if it wasn't for the fact that I have actually found the module on the forge...
However, why would one even need a module to do something that is easier done manually, as Dr.CSS said:

In the case of css from frameworks, it's more efficient, to actually just call them statically than to use the database, but either way...

The lack of help from the module doesn't help, but I would assume, you would have to use the tag just before the
HTML </ head> tag of your template, and use the css classes and ids according to Foundation refferences.
My 2 cents...

CMSFoundation is still a first Betaversion so I don't think it's a good idea to use it in a live website. I also noticed bugs are still open for months.

Thanks for your answers.
I uninstalled cmsfoundation, because now I understand it has nothing to do with it. I am no longer confused.
Thanks.

I have successfully used foundation zurb on a number of sites. Knowing a few smarty tricks, eg {Formbuilder|replace:'cms_submit':'button' form=myform} has helped enormously.
