convert string to uppercase value

[boogyman]

How do I use anonymous functions to create an input field that converts the value into uppercase onblur()?

research the .toUpperCase() function



var a = "this is some text";
a.toUpperCase()
/* will give you -- THIS IS SOME TEXT */


to take that and make a function to use in a script



function convertToUpper(str, el)
{
document.getElementById(el).value = str.toUpperCase();
}




<input type="text" name="_something_" id="_id_" value="" onblur="javascript:convertToUpper(this.value, '_id_')">

I don't think that's an anonymous function, but I could be wrong.

This certainly is an anonymous function (tested in FF 2 only, but may work in all or most modern browsers):


<input type="text" onblur="(function(){this.value = this.value.toUpperCase();}).apply(this);">

But I believe this also qualifies as anonymous:


<input type="text" onblur="this.value = this.value.toUpperCase();">

And I know it will work in any modern browser.

Though John certainly provides an aide.

I wonder what's the problem with CSS:


text-transform:uppercase;


...besides the obvious that the (real) value is not capitalized.
