toUpperCase moves cursor

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 21.2008

All,

I am trying to change the text of an input text box to upper case as a user is typing. I can do this pretty easily using the toUpperCase function. However, every time a user enters a character the cursor jumps to the end of the string which is an issue when someone goes back to change the middle of the string. I have found some samples out there on how to accomplish this using the addEventListener for KeyUp. The problem with that solution is that I have multiple functions being called and am not sure how to pass multiple functions to and addEventListener invocation.

Can anyone please provide assistance?

Thanks in advance
Jack

@mrhooJul 21.2008 — You can use css to force the input to [B]display [/B]in upper case, and save a lot of key events:

.uppercaseClass{text-transform:uppercase}

If you need the value in uppercase for client side operations, convert it onchange or onblur.

Success!
