Text Field All Caps?

[Former Community Member]

I'm making an application form and prefer some of the fields to appear in all caps when a user types in information. Is there any way to make text fields font all caps? I looked under the font options but can only change the font, make things bold, italicized, underlined and a different size. Thanks!

You have to use the FormCalc funciton "Upper(s1[, k1])" or the JavaScript "toUpperCase()" method.

There are two methods to convert a field to UpperCase. Both are used on the Exit event, and JavaScript language should be selected.



this.rawValue = this.rawValue.toUpperCase();



or,



var uc = TextField1.rawValue;

TextField1.rawValue = uc.toUpperCase();



I hope this helps.

For detailed instructions for using both the FormCalc's "Upper()" and "Lower()" funcitons see:

If when using the JavaScript solution, you get a console error of "no properties for this.rawValue, you can add an "if" statement to test "this.rawValue" being equal to "undefined".



if (this.rawValue != undefined )

this.rawValue = this.rawValue.toUpperCase();
