SYMPTOMS
When you are using Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 1 (SP1), when you print a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) page that contains a  tag, the page does not print correctly if the text in the box does not completely fill the box.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, use either of the following methods:
 * Use onbeforeprint events and onafterprint events to create a  tag that is full of content.

-or-
 * Use the  tags instead of  tags.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
 tags are designed to display only one page. Like all controls, a TextArea control does not break across pages.
