Hello,

I have a question. Is it possible that when someone types in a textbox that the letters that are being typed ared immediatly capital letters? I know you can use OntextChanged and autopostback and then do a ToUpper but the autopostback is very annoying. So i want to know if there's a way to upper them without an autopostback.

Thx

Hi,

Try out this ..............

<script type="text/javascript">

function UpperCase(e)
{
var key;
var keychar;
var reg;
if(window.event)
{
// for IE, e.keyCode or window.event.keyCode can be used
key = e.keyCode;
}
else if(e.which)
{
// netscape
key = e.which;
}
else {
// no event, so pass through
return true;
}
key = String.fromCharCode(key).toUpperCase().charCodeAt(0)
window.event.keyCode = key
}
</Script>


In Page load event add................

txtName.Attributes("onkeypress") = "javascript:return " & _
" UpperCase(event);"


I hope this will help u................

Hi,

I've tried it but it doesn't do anything. I word in vb.net, and i placed what you gave me in a string and then called it in my pageload. But it doesn't really do something. This is how i changed it:

Me.TextnaamZoek.Attributes.Add("onkeypress", "return UpperCase(event);")

Private Sub grootte()

Dim js As String = "<script language=JavaScript>Function UpperCase(ByVal e){var key;var keychar;var reg;If (window.event) Then{key = e.keyCode;}ElseIf (e.which) Then{key = e.which; }else {return true;}key = String.fromCharCode(key).toUpperCase().charCodeAt(0)window.event.keyCode = key}</script>"

'RegisterStartupScript("UpperCase", js)
RegisterClientScriptBlock("UpperCase", js)
End Sub

I also tried with first calling grootte and then do the attributes add. But when i type something in the textbox the letters are small.

End Sub

Hi,

Ok that works fine. Thank you very much. But what did you just change? I looked at the code but i didn't seem to find a difference.

There is an easier way!!!

Add Style="text-transform: uppercase;" to your textbox.

VB.NET: 
 <asp:TextBox id="test" Style="text-transform: uppercase;" Runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

Thats it! Thats all you need!
