Is there a way that when the user is typing in the text box, that the letters get typed in the uppercase.

Please let me know. Thanks in advance.
 
Hi mate,

As Coldfusion runs on the server before it is sent to the browser, it is not possible for Coldfusion to do this.

You have the choice of either using JS forum216 to so this or waiting until the page has been submitted then getting Coldfusion to uppercase it.

Hope this helps

Code:
<input type="text" name="xtest" onChange="this.value=this.value.toUpperCase()">

should work

if you want CF to do it, it can be done after the form is submitted.

Code:
ucase(form.fieldName)

the user doesn't really need to see that happening anyway.

Thanks a lot, everyone.

Actually, I tried doing as follows in CF and it works good:

style="text-transform:uppercase"

Thanks.
