hi ,



I have a requirement where I have to move the grid generated by the dhtmlx to a pdf. I don’t get html of the grid in the source currently. Is there a way I can get the html generate by the DHTMLX so that I can use it to generate PDF ?

You can get inner HTML of grid as

var html = grid.entBox.parentNode.innerHTML;

where grid - reference to grid object.

Beware that in srnd or paging modes grid has not all data rendered - so innerHTML will contain only part of grid’s data.
It may be a more simple way - to serialize grid to xml and build PDF based on XML data

what do you mean by serializing the grid to xml ? How is it going to help me ? I need kind of screenshot of the grid in the PDF.

dhtmlxGrid is fully client side component. Conversion grid to PDF is really server side task. Grid can serialize itself as XML or CSV - which can be used to further transformation on server side. Please see more information here dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxG … l#grid_csv
Serializtion grid into XML\CSV formats is availible only in PRO version.
