| BEWARE:
This template is NOT suitable for a first website. If you want to use it,
you need to be comfortable in CSS and javascript.
You have discovered one of the more serious flaws with the navigation
element in that template. It was silly of Macromedia to let it get out the
door in this fragile condition.
To understand the navigation system, go here -

But - I encourage you to reconsider. Perhaps one of the nice templates here
would work for you -
