Code:

<input type = "button" id = "btn" value= "Add Student Data" onclick="getData(this.form)">
...
<script type="text/javascript">
function getData( form )
{
    var temp = [ form.name.value, form.mark1.value, form.mark2.value,
                 form.mark3.value, form.mark4.value ];
    var stringData = temp.join( "\n" );
    // ... but what you will do with it now you don't say ...
    // as a PURE GUESS:
    form.resultdata.value = stringData;
}
</script>

You may temp.join( ) on whatever kind of separator(s) you want.

You could even produce CSV data thus:

Code:

    var stringData = '"' + temp.join( '","' ) + '"';

Hard to guess what you really want from such vague specifications.
