Print content of a textbox of a webpage.

vtje

Can anyone help?
I've made a webpage ( HTML/Javascript/PHPscript ) with a chechbox a radiobutton and a textbox/erea. A user can fill-in this webpage and push the sendbutton to send it through e-mail.
But, when the user wants to print this webpage he gets only the vissable data of the textbox/erea on the print. Not the hole input of the scrollable textbox/erea.

How can I solve this?

pretty sure you can't, it is just like when you print a page that has an animated gif, the comp will take something like a print screen, and print what it sees, nothing you can do about that

well like stolzyboy says, if you print of the page directly its not possible, but what you can do is to have a print link on the page.
when the link is clicked , open up to a new window [ or refresh the same] and display only the testarea contents.
its similar to a text-only version that you see on a lot of sites

Hi,

try this example:

main page:

<html>
<script>
function invia()
{
	document.myform.action="prttxt.php";
	document.myform.submit();
}
</script>

<body>
<form name="myform" method=get>
<textarea name="mytextarea">
</textarea>
</form>
<p onclick="invia()">print</p>
</body>
</html>

printable page:

<html>
<body>
you say:
<? echo $mytextarea; ?>
</body>
</html>

see you
