I saw this class HTML wrapped around consumer address data being entered in a form on a site, what are these tags used for - is it used on Skype to trigger a behavior? Didn't see an explanation of the class online. We are going to filter it out nonetheless.

<SPAN CLASS="SKYPE_C2C_FREE_TEXT_SPAN"></SPAN>

    It's just a class name, it doesn't have any special meaning. – dfsq Feb 09 '15 at 18:58

    @dfsq Presumably it means something to the developer. It probably does have something to do with Skype. – kgh Feb 09 '15 at 19:03

    Presumably something added on by the Skype click to call browser addon. See also [How to remove skype detecting number?](http://stackoverflow.com/q/10353542/73226) – Martin Smith Feb 09 '15 at 19:18
  • @MartinSmith Thanks for contributing. I would tag yours as the answer if you made it one. From your response I learned C2C is click to call and a step closer to understanding Skype's classes. – ledlogic Apr 04 '15 at 18:22

A span is just some text. the class determines which CSS styles apply to the text within the span. It doesn't have anything to do with classes in the OOP sense of the term.

Class names are somewhat arbitrary. This span presumably has something to do with Skype, but it's not doing anything programmatic.
