How to convert a field to Capitals / Uppercase 2 years, 4 months ago #10822

I have a field that allows the user to enter a code, we then check that code against a number of variables, before I do that I want to convert the inputted variable to uppercase so for example. ab123 would become AB123 or aB12c would become AB12C tried using variable = strtoupper(variable) but can not get this to work	plymouthpc OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 7 Karma: 0

php i guess, dont know myself no longer code until I started trying to sort this out, just want something that works. we have a line that gets the value of a field entered by user then we check that field with switch/case and send the user to an appropriate form depending on what code is entered. but this fails if they entered data in lowercase or a mixture of the two	plymouthpc OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 7 Karma: 0

I would create a custom validation, since that will be js and do it like this: ff_getElementByName("thecode").value = ff_getElementByName("thecode").value.toUpperCase();	TheMuffinMan NOW ONLINE Moderator Posts: 4128 Karma: 36

Hi, I'm trying to do the same thing. In your example above, What do I enter where you have put "thecode"? Sorry, but I have no programming knowledge.	Ian McLean OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 6 Karma: 0

Hi, Use this

function ff_nameoftheelement_action(element, action)
{ff_getElementByName('nameoftheelement').value = ff_getElementByName('nameoftheelement').value.toUpperCase();
} //ff_nombre_action

In the above code replace nameoftheelement to the real name of each element in your form you need to convert to uppercase

In the advanced tab of each element select Actioscript Custom, in action select change and paste the code
