JavaScript toLocaleLowerCase method
|
|
If we want to convert whole string into the lower case letters then we can do this with a single step by calling method toLocaleLowerCase() on the string object. For example if we have a string "Hello Rose India" and we want to convert it into the lower case as "hello rose india" then we can use toLocaleLowerCase() method of JavaScript.
Syntax :
| string_object.toLocaleLowerCase(); |
Where string_object is that specified string which is to be converted into the lower case regarding the current locale.
Description of code :
To illustrate use of toLocaleLowerCase() method we have created a HTML page into which we have created an input text box which takes the character or string by the user that is to be converted. We have also created a button "Convert text to lowercase" and it calls the function lowerCaseText() which is defined in between the pair of <script></script> tags.
function lowerCaseText()
{
var textToConvert = document.getElementById('txt').value;
document.getElementById('txt').innerText =
textToConvert.toLocaleLowerCase();
}
|
In the above function first line of code creates a variable textToConvert and contains text input value. In the second line of code we have converted the text string and replaced it with the text in the input text box.
<html>
<head>
<title>Convert string to locale's lowercase</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
function lowerCaseText()
{
var textToConvert = document.getElementById('txt').value;
document.getElementById('txt').innerText =
textToConvert.toLocaleLowerCase();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

<div style="background: #ff9900; width:'100%';"
