Ignore Case in validation

[DenverMarc]

Hello,

I'm pretty new to javascript. I have an asp form and I'm using javascript for validation. One text field, PromoCode, has this:

function ValidUserInput() {
   if ($("PromoCode").value != "0508Test")
   }
   alert("The promo code you entered is not valid, please check your code and enter again.");
   $("PromoCode").focus();
    return false;
    }
...
}

The problem I have is that this is Case Sensitive. In other words "0508Test" is allowed, but "0508TEST" is not. I want to ignore the case. Can you help?

Thanks,

Marc

Just make it always check for upper or lower, and then convert the input to match what you choose:

function ValidUserInput() {
   if ($("PromoCode").value[!].toUpperCase()[/!] != "0508T[!]EST[/!]")
   }
   alert("The promo code you entered is not valid, please check your code and enter again.");
   $("PromoCode").focus();
    return false;
    }
...
}
