you could do it using some javascript like the following

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function UCase(textBox){
var upperCase = &quot;&quot;;
upperCase = textBox.value;
textBox.value = upperCase.toUpperCase();
}
</script>


<input name=&quot;UserID&quot; value=&quot;&quot; onKeyUp=&quot;UCase(frmLogin.UserID)&quot;>

Or even shorter
<script>
function upCaseCtrl(ctrl)
{
ctrl.value = ctrl.value.toUpperCase();
}
</script>

<form>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; value onChange=&quot;upCaseCtrl(this) &quot;> Eric

if you are looking for shortness, couldnt you just:

<input type=text value=&quot;&quot; onchange=&quot;this.value=this.value.toUpperCase();&quot;>
