hi NC,

Now i can be able to print the contents of text box. But the text is not printing in the way i have inserted into the text box. Actually i have inserted with different lines and some text at particular position. But it is printing in a paragraph without considering any newline , tab or space. So can u please help me to print as in the text box with newline ,space and tab.

thanks

Sorry, that is far too much work to help you with, if it is even possible.

I don't know what else to tell you. I've already told you that I don't think that it is even possible. Maybe someone else can answer.

Hi sancti

Please try the following demo, which is based on NC’s code:

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">


<script runat="server">


</script>


<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>


    <script type="text/javascript">


        function printTextBox(elementId) {
            var printContent = document.getElementById(elementId).value;
            var windowUrl = 'about:blank';
            var windowName = 'Print' + new Date().getTime();
            var printWindow = window.open(windowUrl, windowName, 'left=50000,top=50000,width=0,height=0');
            

            var rex = /\n/g;
            printContent = printContent.replace(rex, "<br>");


            printWindow.document.write(printContent);
            printWindow.document.close();
            printWindow.focus();
            printWindow.print();
            printWindow.close();
        }


    </script>


</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Height="512px" TextMode="MultiLine"
            Width="511px"></asp:TextBox>
        <br />
        <input type="button" onclick="printTextBox('<%= TextBox1.ClientID %>');" value="Print TextBox" />
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Thanks.

Lance Zhang

var tabRegex = /\t/g;
printContent = printContent.replace(tabRegex, "    ");

var spaceRegex = / /g;
printContent = printContent.replace(spaceRegex, " ");
