What Is class="input"?

[JiaPei Jen]

I saw this piece of code (see below) in a struts application.

<TD class="input"><INPUT type="submit" value=" LATEST NEWS " name="SUBMIT">

The second part is HTML equivalent of

<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="LATEST NEWS" name="SUBMIT">

But, what is <class="input">? What is its HTML equivalent?

class input references a style sheet class where the layout of this
table field is defined.
This is not Struts related, just standard HTML.

Sorry, I still do not understand. The style sheet is called base.css. I do not see the way in which

<class="input"><html:submit property="submit"> LATEST NEWS </html:submit>

relates to the style sheet. The content of the style sheet is shown below:

body {
  background-color:#FFFFFF;
  color:#000000;
  link:000066;
  visited:#660066;
  active:#33CCCC;
  text-align:center;
}
A:hover { color: #FF0000; }

Here it is, plucked from your stylesheet:

td.input {
   text-align:left;
}

That "td.input" means "apply this to elements of type "td" of class "input".
