Change Input to Upper Case

JS:

<script type="text/css">
$(function() {
    $('#upper').keyup(function() {
        this.value = this.value.toUpperCase();
    });
});
</script>

HTML

<div id="search">
        <input type="radio" name="table" class="table" value="professor" tabindex="1" /> Professor
        <input type="radio" name="table" class="table" value="department" tabindex="2" /> Department
        <input type="radio" name="table" id="upper" class="table" value="course" tabindex="3" /> Course
        <input type="text" nam开发者_如何学Pythone="search" class="keywords" value="Select an option..." onclick="this.value='';" onfocus="this.select()" onblur="this.value=!this.value?':this.value;" tabindex="4"  />
        <div id="content"> </div>
    </div>

Why is this still not working?? Just trying to call div ".keywords" from JS.

I think the most elegant way is without any javascript but with css. You can use text-transform: uppercase (this is inline just for the idea):

<input id="yourid" style="text-transform: uppercase" type="text" />

Edit:

So, in your case, if you want keywords to be uppercase change: keywords: $(".keywords").val(), to $(".keywords").val().toUpperCase(),

---

Javascript string objects have a toLocaleUpperCase() function that makes the conversion itself easy.

Here's an example of live capitalisation:

$(function() {
    $('input').keyup(function() {
        this.value = this.value.toLocaleUpperCase();
    });
});

---

Unfortunately, this resets the textbox contents completely, so the user's caret position (if not "the end of the textbox") is lost.

You can hack this back in, though, with some browser-switching magic:

// Thanks http://blog.vishalon.net/index.php/javascript-getting-and-setting-caret-position-in-textarea/
function getCaretPosition(ctrl) {
    var CaretPos = 0;    // IE Support
    if (document.selection) {
        ctrl.focus();
        var Sel = document.selection.createRange();
        Sel.moveStart('character', -ctrl.value.length);
        CaretPos = Sel.text.length;
    }
    // Firefox support
    else if (ctrl.selectionStart || ctrl.selectionStart == '0') {
        CaretPos = ctrl.selectionStart;
    }

    return CaretPos;
}

function setCaretPosition(ctrl, pos) {
    if (ctrl.setSelectionRange) {
        ctrl.focus();
        ctrl.setSelectionRange(pos,pos);
    }
    else if (ctrl.createTextRange) {
        var range = ctrl.createTextRange();
        range.collapse(true);
        range.moveEnd('character', pos);
        range.moveStart('character', pos);
        range.select();
    }
}


// The real work

$(function() {
    $('input').keyup(function() {
        // Remember original caret position
        var caretPosition = getCaretPosition(this);

        // Uppercase-ize contents
        this.value = this.value.toLocaleUpperCase();

        // Reset caret position
        // (we ignore selection length, as typing deselects anyway)
        setCaretPosition(this, caretPosition);
    });
});

---

Ultimately, it might be easiest to fake it. Set the style text-transform: uppercase on the textbox so that it appears uppercase to the user, then in your Javascript apply the text transformation once whenever the user's caret focus leaves the textbox entirely:

HTML:

<input type="text" name="keywords" class="uppercase" />

CSS:

input.uppercase { text-transform: uppercase; }

Javascript:

$(function() {
    $('input').focusout(function() {
        // Uppercase-ize contents
        this.value = this.value.toLocaleUpperCase();
    });
});

Hope this helps.

If you purpose it to a html input, you can easily do this without the use of JavaScript! or any other JS libraries. It would be standard and very easy to use a CSS tag text-transform:

<input type="text" style="text-transform: uppercase" >

or you can use a bootstrap class named as "text-uppercase"

<input type="text" class="text-uppercase" >

In this manner, your code is much simpler!

Solutions using value.toUpperCase seem to have the problem that typing text into the field resets the cursor position to the end of the text. Solutions using text-transform seem to have the problem that the text submitted to the server is still potentially lowercase. This solution avoids those problems:

function handleInput(e) {
   var ss = e.target.selectionStart;
   var se = e.target.selectionEnd;
   e.target.value = e.target.value.toUpperCase();
   e.target.selectionStart = ss;
   e.target.selectionEnd = se;
}

<input type="text" id="txtTest" oninput="handleInput(event)" />

---

Can also do it this way but other ways seem better, this comes in handy if you only need it the once.

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

---

try:

$('#search input.keywords').bind('change', function(){
    //this.value.toUpperCase();
    //EDIT: As  Mike Samuel suggested, this will be more appropriate for the job
    this.value = this.value.toLocaleUpperCase();
} );

I think the most easiest way to do is by using Bootstrap's class ".text-uppercase"

<input type="text" class="text-uppercase" />

---

I couldn't find the text-uppercase in Bootstrap referred to in one of the answers. No matter, I created it;

.text-uppercase {
  text-transform: uppercase;
}

This displays text in uppercase, but the underlying data is not transformed in this way. So in jquery I have;

$(".text-uppercase").keyup(function () {
    this.value = this.value.toLocaleUpperCase();
});

This will change the underlying data wherever you use the text-uppercase class.

---

onBlur="javascript:{this.value = this.value.toUpperCase(); }

will change uppercase easily.

Demo Here

This answer has a problem:

style="text-transform: uppercase"

it also converts the place holder word to upper case which is inconvenient

placeholder="first name"

when rendering the input, it writes "first name" placeholder as uppercase

FIRST NAME

so i wrote something better:

onkeypress="this.value = this.value + event.key.toUpperCase(); return false;"

it works good!, but it has some side effects if your javascript code is complex,

hope it helps somebody to give him/her an idea to develop a better solution.

Here we use onkeyup event in input field which triggered when the user releases a Key. And here we change our value to uppercase by toUpperCase() function.

Note that, text-transform="Uppercase" will only change the text in style. but not it's value. So,In order to change value, Use this inline code that will show as well as change the value

<input id="test-input" type="" name="" onkeyup="this.value = this.value.toUpperCase();">

Here is the code snippet that proved the value is change

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<title></title>
</head>
<body>
	<form method="get" action="">
		<input id="test-input" type="" name="" onkeyup="this.value = this.value.toUpperCase();">
		<input type="button" name="" value="Submit" onclick="checking()">
	</form>
	<script type="text/javascript">
		function checking(argument) {
			// body...
			var x = document.getElementById("test-input").value
			alert(x);
		}
		
		
	</script>
</body>
</html>

<input id="name" data-upper type="text"/>
<input id="middle" data-upper type="text"/>
<input id="sur" data-upper type="text"/>

Upper the text on dynamically created element which has attribute upper and when keyup action happens

$(document.body).on('keyup', '[data-upper]', function toUpper() {
  this.value = this.value.toUpperCase();
});

---

**JAVA SCRIPT**
<html>
<body>
<script>
function @ToCaps(obj)
{
obj.value=obj.value.toUpperCase();
}
</script>
<input type="text" onkeyup=@ToCaps(this)"/>
</body>
</html>

**ASP.NET**
Use a css style on the text box, write css like this:

.ToCaps { text-transform: uppercase; }

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" CssClass="ToCaps"></asp:Te writxtBox>

**OR**
simply write this code in textbox
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" style="text-transform:uppercase"></asp:TextBox>


 **1.Note you don't get intelligence until you type up to style="**

Javascript has a toUpperCase() method. http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_toUpperCase.asp

So wherever you think best to put it in your code, you would have to do something like

$(".keywords").val().toUpperCase()

---

you can try this HTML

<input id="pan" onkeyup="inUpper()" />

javaScript

function _( x ) {
  return document.getElementById( x );
}
  // convert text in upper case
  function inUpper() {
    _('pan').value = _('pan').value.toUpperCase();
  }
