How to get particular html table contents to write it in pdf using itext

Question

I have used iText to export the table contents to pdf.

Here is my code:

JSP:

<%@ page language=\"java\" contentType=\"text/html; charset=I         


        

Answer 1

It's ocorring because of line $("#datatoexport").val($("#customers").html()); where the Jquery method .html retrieve the entire html from the html table. There is not easy way to extract text from a html table, you will need a parse function in jquery like in this post: Getting text from td cells with jQuery

In adiction, the sample that you post isn't the best form to request a server processing text, look in this How to use Servlets and Ajax?
