capitalize letters in field

message from Zwi2000 on 15 Jul 2004
Hi,

I downloaded an extension to capitalize a word, the problem is it only
changes the first letter and I need to change the whole word. Is there a fix
for this or a script maybe ?

Thanks for the help in advance,

Z

Umm...what extension are you talking about?

If it's just one word, do you really need an extension to do this?

Whatever does the trick. I downloaded "capitalize word" from
http://www.basic-ultradev.com/

Maybe a script ?

What, exactly, are you trying to do? What word(s) are you trying to

First Name: ___________________

The user enters the name, I need to "On Blur" update whatever was entered in
lower caps to caps, so that instead of : manuel, the form field displays
"MANUEL".

So database has nothing to do, its just reformating the information in that
field.

The next question I'll ask you is why are you doing this?

Do do what you want, you'd do this on the client-side with javascript.
However, it's usually better to do this on the server side for a variety of
reasons.

For javascript, this looks close to what you want:

http://javascript.internet.com/forms/sentence-caps.html

You'll want to edit it so that it caps everything. I believe the key is
this:

yourString.toUpperCase();

Again, though, you may want to consider a server-side solution.

Didnt work either, same issue, just changes the first letter of the word,
the result is "Manuel" instead of "MANUEL"

<input name="field1" type="text" id="field1"
onblur="javascript:document.form1.field1.value=document.form1.field1.value.toUpperCase();"/>

Watch the wrap!

Adding: onChange="javascript:this.value=this.value.toUpperCase();"

to the field did the trick.

onchange="this.value=this.value.toUpperCase();"

Of course, you'll never read this reply.
