Case Conversion

[bytesbytes]

How to convert the case on clicking a button dynamically?
If a button is clicked first time then it should display the cahracters in CAPITAL in a text box and clicking the same button second time should display in text as small character and vice versa.
Please provide me sample coding if you have.

THANKS in advance

Use the string's toUpperCase/toLowerCase methods.

Thanks for your reply. But the requirement is clicking a button should change the case in vise versa manner like Caps Lock in key board.(Required the same function)

Show your code so far so I can suggest changes/additions.

You need to check the keyCode on the keypress event. If the keycode is on an alphabet, convert it to the required case's code (depending upon the status of the button).

Thanks. But how do i know how many times i pressed the capslock button.For first time pressing it should return all values in text as CAPITAL and second time being small and 3rd time being CAPITAL and so on. Can you please provide sample codings?
[HTML]<input name="textarea" type="text" />
<input type="button" name="button1" onclick="type('a')" />
<input type="button" name="button1" onclick="type('b')" />
<input type="button" name="Capsbutton" ___? />
[/HTML]****

function type(x){
var  object =document.getElementById("textarea");
var app = object.value;
object.value=app+x;
}
 

Please provide for caps lock function.

Save a flag variable, which gets toggled onclick of the button.
true = CAPITALS
false = smalls

bytesbytes, you've been told before about using code tags. They make the code much easier to read. See How to Ask a Question. I don't want to have to ask you again.
