Question

CSS text-transform not sending upper case to Business Layer

Answer 1

+5 A:

CSS only affects the presentation. The text sent is still in lowercase. You do need to uppercase the string on the server side.

Answer 2

+2 A:

text-transform:uppercase is not converting a string to uppercase you need to do that at the server side. You can see that if you copy a transformed text via cmd-c (strg-c) and paste it to a text document. The Text will be lowercase.

Take a look: http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/1.1.5/api/org/springframework/util/StringUtils.html#capitalize%28java.lang.String%29

Hope you are using the Spring-Framework.

Answer 3

+1 A:

You also could transform it on client side using js.

It is more reliable to do it server side though. There is no performance benefit to doing it client side, so it isn't worth the effort here.

I totaly agree with that.

Answer 4

+1 A:

Copy the following code in your JS file:

// This function is used to change lower to upper case for the Input text
function cUpper(cObj)
{
cObj.value=cObj.value.toUpperCase();
}

After this, in your textbox's OnKeyup event put this:

return cUpper(this);

Save, upload and try.

Answer 5

A:

In your case I probably try to write own PropertyEditors.

See for details: http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.x/spring-framework-reference/html/validation.html
