Vista - Display Text in Upper Case

Sorry guys my Javascript is very limited!

I must have the educator enter some data as upper case. I have fought with
this for four days now and realize I need some help.

First question; Is there any way I can do this without using Javascript?

Here is my current scripting code.

function changeToUpperCase(onKeyUp)
{
document.getElementById(onChange).value.toUpperCase();
}

<Input Type="Text" Name="txtBlChip" Id="txtBlChip" Size="1" MaxLength="1"
Value="S" onKeyUp="changeToUpperCase(this.txtBlChip)"
onChange="changeToUpperCase(this.txtBlChip)">

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Toni

I want to reiterate - can this be done without using JScript or Java?

Thank You.

You could do it in your server-side code if you are using ASP.
You could also use a trigger on your database if you are storing this text
in a database that supports triggers.

Or, you could let the user enter the data any way he wants, but convert to
upper case whenever displaying it. This could be done in the sql statement
that retrieves the text from the database (if you are using a database) or
in your server-side code if you are using ASP.

onchange is not a pointer!!!

You will have to do something with the resulting string like sending it
back to the screen.
========this.txtBlChip======

txtBlChip is not a attribute of this.
Id is.
But you have the pointer to the <input> already in "this".

Do not include things that have nothing to do with your Q.

Use onblur. with onchange and onkeyup the textcursor will be set to the
end-of-string position at each key entry.
Lots of things. See above.


Try:
==========================================
<input
type="text" name="txtX" id="txtX" value="testvalue"
onBlur="changeToUpperCase(this)"function changeToUpperCase(x) {
x.value = x.value.toUpperCase();
};
==========================================

Oh, I see you are in the wrong NG for Javascript.

VBscript will only be usable in IE.

news:8097C1F6-F53A-455E-823A-475E809A3807@xxxxxxIf you ask "Can this be done using VB Script" then here is a method:

sInput = "d:\temp\dir.txt"
sOutput = "d:\temp\dir.out"
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oInput = oFSO.OpenTextFile(sInput)
Set oOutput = oFSO.CreateTextFile(sOutput,vbTrue)
sData = UCase(oInput.ReadAll)
oOutput.Write sData
oInput.Close
oOutput.Close

If it's user input rather than file input you wish to translate then you
could use the VB Script function "InputBox". However, moving between Java
and VB Script does not look like an elegant solution to me - asking the Java
experts how to do all of it in Java would give you a much cleaner method.

Thank You very much, I am going to school this afternoon and I will try it.

Hope you have a great day.
