how to change the input value to upper case

[thiagu.m]

hi every one

i want to change the all user input into upper case, even if they are type with out caps lock on. for that i use the input style like this

input[type=submit], input[type=button] {
     font-size: 10px;
     margin: 5px 5px 5px 0;
     cursor: pointer;
        text-transform: uppercase;
}
 

it is working in the view page , but in back end i am getting the lower case data.
is there any other easy way to convert all the user input into upper case.

You can just add

stringValue.toUpperCase();

in your conttoller/backing bean/EntityHome persist/update method. After all, this is explain in Java SE docs as a natural String object capability.

The text-transform only applies to how the data is 'DISPLAYED' to the user. It does not affect the data sent back to the server.

I'm doing exactly what you want to do with this small jQuery function.

function upperCaseAllInputs() {
     jQuery("input:not('.normalCase')[type='text']")
          .each(function() {this.value = this.value.toUpperCase();});
}

I just call this during the onsubmit of each page. (Getting it to work will be hard if you are using ajax but... see how you go.
