making location.pathname.indexOf not case sensitive

I’m trying to figure out how to make this code not be case sensitive when it comes to the “default.asp” line. The code below in the head of a XHTML template and adds the CSS info only on the homepage, which is domain.com or domain.com/default.asp. It works just fine, but when I visit domain.com/DEFAULT.asp it doesn’t work. How do I make it case insensitive?

[CODE]<script type=”text/javascript”>
//<![CDATA[
var onHomePage = (location.pathname == “/”) ||
(location.pathname.indexOf(“/default.asp”) != -1);
if (onHomePage)
document.writeln(“n<style type=’text/css’>#content_area {background-color:#dddddd;}</style>nn”);
//]]>
</script>[/CODE]

@BIOSTALLJul 06.2011 — The best way that I can see would be to convert it to lower case and search for that. For example:

[CODE]var onHomePage = (location.pathname == "/") || (location.pathname.toLowerCase().indexOf("/default.asp") != -1);
if (onHomePage)
document.writeln("n<style type='text/css'>#content_area {background-color:#dddddd;}</style>nn"); [/CODE]

Note the use of the toLowerCase() being used to convert the location.pathname to lower case before comparing it.

Hope that helps

[CODE]|| //default.asp/i.test(location.pathname))[/CODE]

Success!
