How to have all Caps as default on form fields

You can use the 'toUpperCase()' method of the string object.

If you want it done as the input is typed, you need to use a custom keystroke JavaScript.

If you want it after the entry is completed, you can use the a custom format JavaScript, custom JavaScript "on blur" action, or custom JavaScript validation.

I am new to JavaScript so what would be the "code" if i wanted to have the type face done in Capital letters as the user types?

You can use:

event.change = event.change.toUpperCase();

You could also create a document level function that could be called by almost any action.

function ToUpper(sText) {
return sText.toUpperCase();
}

For keystroke:

event.change = ToUpper(event.change);

For format, calculation, or on blur action:

event.value = ToUpper(event.value);

But there is not much in keystroke savings and since the code is short, there might not be a great improvement in efficiency.

So i went into the Text Field Properties->Actions->Select Trigger(Mouse down)->Select Action(Run a JavaScript)->Add(event.change = UpperCase(event.change);)but it didn't work when i tried to type a letter into the field it was still lower case. Ami i doing it right?

You open the field properties, Format, Custom, Custom Keystroke Script.

The 'change' property of the 'event' object is only available for the Keystroke action while this action is being processed. After the updated field has been committed, the 'change' property no longer exist.

It worked....But only the this line i needed "event.change = event.change.toUpperCase();" in the keystroke

Hey George,

I am posting this form on a website i am developing. I want users to fill out the form and submit it to me. I would like for the submitted forms to be archived in a folder on my server.

I already created a submit button but i am having problems with the URL. Is this the best way to go about submitting the form
