Hey gb2world, I was able to figure out a way to make the horizontal menu work. I think I over thought the process in the beginning. Here is what I did.
1. I removed the horizontal menu that came with the skin from the head.tpl.
2. I installed a table in the head.tpl (I know I should have used CSS but I just wanted to see if it worked)
3. I created new static pages and linked them inside the table.
Here is the code:
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td height="35" background="http://www.chimera-bikes.com/skin1/images/custom/hor_categoriesbg.gif"><table width="429" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="100"><div align="center"><a href="http://www.chimera-bikes.com/">Home</a></div></td>
<td width="100"><div align="center"><a href="http://www.chimera-bikes.com/pages.php?pageid=10">Age Guide</a></div></td>
<td width="100"><div align="center"><a href="http://www.chimera-bikes.com/pages.php?pageid=11">Size Guide</a></div></td>
<td width="100" height="35"><div align="center"><a href="http://www.chimera-bikes.com/pages.php?pageid=12">Style Guide</a></div></td>
<td><div align="center"></div></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
</table>
