Convert text to Uppercase in CSS using ASP.NET
Hello Experts,
I'm creating an ASP.NET Web Form. I would like to have all input by user to be converted to Uppercase which I have been able to do so far, but when the text gets added to the database it gets added however the user inputs it. In other words it's not getting inputed into the database as uppercase.
Is there anyway I can make sure that all data entered in the form is shown and uppercase and then when added to database it gets added as uppercase as well?

use text-transform: uppercase int the user input text style...
Hi asp_net2,
Use the text-transform property to convert your text to upper case, to lower case, or you can use it to capitalize words within your html text.
text-transform: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
text-transform: lowercase;
text-transform: capitalize;
text-transform: inherit;
for more details:

text-transform only gives the appearance, it doesn't change the underlying data
So in your code behind you need to manipulate the data to Uppercase or use javascript to capitalize it at the client side.

Hi...
You can also use jQuery as follows:
<script src="Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function
{
$("#txt").keydown(function
{
if (e.keyCode >= 65 & e.keyCode <= 90)
{
val1 = $("#txt").val(); $("#txt").val(val1 + String.fromCharCode(e.keyC
}
});
});
</script>
OR
You can use css as follows:
Use a css style on the text box. Your css should be something like this:
.uppercase { text-transform: uppercase; }
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text="" CssClass="uppercase"></asp
You can also use this
onkeyup="this.value=this.v
but
.uppercase { text-transform: uppercase; } is more user friendly
