Webpage Hyperlink Help

Have a hyperlink problem that I can't figure out. Using a free template that I found on the net, I'm trying to add a simple hyperlink to the page. Problem is, when I publish the page to my site and click on the hyperlink (which I have setup to open in a new page) it tries to open the link as follows:

www.mainsite.com/www.hyperlink.com
(mainsite.com being the main webpage, hyperlink.com being the new link I'm trying to open in a new page)

I just want the page to load www.hyperlink.com...not www.mainsite.com/www.hyperlink.com.

If I create a new page not using the template, the link works fine, so me thinks there is something in the template that I'm missing that is causing this...
 
If you open that page in FrontPage and right click on the hyperlink to open the Edit Hyperlink panel, what do you see in the URL box and for Target Frame?
 
I get the impression you have no knowledge of HTML, so you may have a hard time with this. Go to you HTML view in Front Page and find the link. What do you see? Paste the code here so we can see it.

Well sure enough Frontpage was adding in some additional code. I typed in the hyperlink manually just like above and everything works fine now. Serves me right for using frontpage to edit in the first place 😀
