This taglib contains tags used to create struts input forms, as well as other tags generally useful in the creation of HTML-based user interfaces. The tags in the Struts HTML library form a bridge between a JSP view and the other components of a Web application. Since a dynamic Web application often depends on gathering data from a user, input forms play an important role in the Struts framework. Consequently, the majority of the HTML tags involve HTML forms.
For each element in the table, the tag has an html prefix. For example, base is <html:base>
