Making User Input Data UPPERCASE

[Former Member]

I am using htmlb and want to know how to make an input field show/receive UPPERCASE data (as user types in the data).

Thanks, in advance, for your help.

Hi,

Just in case you want to store it as UPPERCASE in the database, then use the

'TRANSLATE letters TO UPPER CASE' command of ABAP.

Cheers,

Hi Bob,

lots of ways to do this using client-side scripting. Here is a simple example you can draw from. http://javascript.programmershelp.co.uk/conformupperjs.php

Thanks for your suggestion:

I know how to make the text capital after its entered. But, I need to be able to make the text capital as its being typed by the user.

Is this doable with an htmlb property? if so, what property. I can't seem to find a solution.

you do not have any property in htmlb:inputField for this.

i just implemented what Graham Robbo has suggested in the following example code. check it out .

      <htmlb:inputField  id = "IP1"
                         width = "100"/>
                         

      <s cript for="IP1" event=onkeyup type="text/ja vascript">
                  thas.value=thas.value.toUpperCase();
      </s cript>
  

in the above code change the thas ( 2 occurrence) to this
