HTML is an acronym for Hyper Text Markup Language.
But why is it hyper?

Too much java . . .

Too much coffee.

a Java, nor an HTML group? ]

Actually, it's an initialism.

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?
