forcing Capital letters in an input field?

[dinno2]

what i need to do is force capital letter in a input field, when the user inputs his data
<td width="10%"> <font face="Arial" size="1"> <input type=text name=depart size=15 maxlength=25 value="K" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8pt">

I have read up on strtoupper but cant make it work in my input field.

The form is collecting information to search for a file in my database, The Data in the datadata base is in upercase, because it is a filename for download, so i cant change that.

Any Ideas?

You can only use php to "post" process the input. In otherwords, use the strtoupper() on the input field value ('depart') on the form action page. PHP is totally done with the page by the time the client (browser) sees the output.

If you need to force uppercase before the user submits the form then, you will have to use client side scripting (VBScript, JavaScript) to act on the input field.

BTW, to comply with XHTML standards, ALL attributes in a tag should be enclosed in double quotes and ALL tags must have 'ends':

<input type="text" name="depart" size="15" maxlength="25" value="K" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8pt" />

Hi,
Try with this...

<td width="10%"> <font face="Arial" size="1"> <input type=text name=depart size=15 maxlength=25 value="K" onChange="javascript:this.value=this.value.toUpperCase();" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8pt">
