Making A Hyperlink! HELP!

Question

Hi, I am doing a simple website, and I need to create a hyperlink in the HTML but using java. The reason being is that a cookie that is read in holds the destination URL, but the link would appear as HOME on the screen. Clicking this would then take them back to the correct place that they came from!
The line in HTML would look something like this:
<p>HOME</td>
where xxxx.xxx needs to be replaced by the variable that the read cookie holds!
I am going round the twist trying to find a functional way of doing this!! Can anyone help P L E A S E!
Many thanks in advance...
regards
Phil
