Question

Given:

How do I make $ (this) .val () all uppercase to get a similar comparison using?

Thanks rodchar

Answer 1

$(this).val() returns a String object , which means that you are executing String methods , like this:

alert($(this).val().toUpperCase() === str.toUpperCase());

Answer 2

  $('#stringFinder').keyup(function (e) { alert($(this).val().toUpperCase() == str.toUpperCase()); }); 

Answer 3

Try the following:

  $(".solomayus").keypress(function (event) { $(this).val($(this).val().toUpperCase()); }); 

OR

  $('.solomayus').blur(function () { $(this).val($(this).val().toUpperCase()); });
