Tab instead of Tree or non-tree Menu?

What I like about the Menu builder is that after playing around with Groups--which is the only way I thought I could create a Main link with a sub-directory of links, that I can use it to HIDE related page or external page links.
However, whether I select or de-select the tree option it still requires javascript and CSS which can be weird from browser to browser.
I took a User Menu link that is normally assigned in security settings to their Group of one user. They log in and they only see the Menu links they are authorized to see and work with. And I added some more links that I wanted that User to have available and dragged them into and under the Main user link that security group settings already sees.
But it is AFTER they click a menu link to go into the List page view where I like to have separate tabs that I have problems. In one project I use the Paris theme with the Paris color choice, in another project the Paris theme with the Amsterdam color.
In the Paris layout, Paris CSS color files, the Tab that has the extra links that are displayed to the right of the tab when the tab is hovered over has a display problem that is putting the sub-links misaligned. As everyone knows, this can be frustrating to the user...right now that is just ME.....as soon as you try to select the link it disappears.
Which got me to thinking that even if I play with the CSS to try to correct this...that at some time someone's browser may create the same problem for them online.


So, I am wondering if there is a fairly easy code modification to CREATE TABS for every link that is assigned to a Table Menu link.

_Right now in PHPRunner 5.3, when you create new links in the Menu builder, it does not produce them in the Permissions Admin folder where you can group those links into one User's group just like you do with tables. PHPRunner only recognizes project tables as the basis of granting permissions to links. If a created link does not relate directly to a project table then it cannot be confined to one User group except by an extra javascript hide event.
Right now, putting extra links in a child directory below the User table/s link is the only way to keep them all inside a User group permission.
So, Sergey and Jane, can you suggest a way to modify the code to assign those Table Menu child links to TABS in the Paris layout instead of dropdowns from a Tab?
Thank you.
