Hi Reddy,

You can use following lines to extract values from text area:

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("annualComments0"));
String text = element.getText();

Now you can use java to extract value from "text".I have checked this on my system and it is working fine.

thanks

Gambhir,
Thanks for u r information, i have checked it ,but getText() is not printing anything on console . Here i can able to see all countries only after clicking on text area. I guess Its dynamically fectching data from DB through javascript function. Any advice plz?
