    Too much coffee.

    [ Did you notice that this is neither
    a Java, nor an HTML group? ]

      Actually, it's an initialism.

        Bwa-ha-ha! I don't think you should become a comedy writer though.

          Hyper text has links in it that you can click on to get you to another
          page. Hpper is the <a> tag.

            How is it a Java question? And assuming it is a Java question,
            why are you asking it in a Javascript newsgroup? And assuming
            this is the correct place to ask such a question, do you really
            think "Java question" is the most descriptive subject you could
            come up with to describe your query?
