If you purpose it to a html input  you can easily do this without the use of JavaScript  or any other JS libraries  It would be standard and very easy to use a CSS tag text-transform    lt input type  text  style  text-transform  uppercase   gt    or you can use a bootstrap class named as  text-uppercase    lt input type  text  class  text-uppercase   gt    In this manner  your code is much simpler

Solutions using value toUpperCase seem to have the problem that typing text into the field resets the cursor position to the end of the text  Solutions using text-transform seem to have the problem that the text submitted to the server is still potentially lowercase  This solution avoids those problems    x000D   x000D  function handleInput e    x000D     var ss   e target selectionStart  x000D     var se   e target selectionEnd  x000D     e target value   e target value toUpperCase    x000D     e target selectionStart   ss  x000D     e target selectionEnd   se  x000D    x000D   lt input type  text  id  txtTest  oninput  handleInput event     gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

This answer has a problem   style  text-transform  uppercase    it also converts the place holder word to upper case which is inconvenient  placeholder  first name    when rendering the input  it writes  first name  placeholder as uppercase  FIRST NAME   so i wrote something better   onkeypress  this value   this value   event key toUpperCase    return false     it works good   but it has some side effects if your javascript code is complex    hope it helps somebody to give him her an idea to develop a better solution

Javascript string objects have a toLocaleUpperCase   function that makes the conversion itself easy   Here s an example of live capitalisation     function            input   keyup function             this value   this value toLocaleUpperCase                    Unfortunately  this resets the textbox contents completely  so the user s caret position  if not  the end of the textbox   is lost   You can hack this back in  though  with some browser-switching magic      Thanks http   blog vishalon net index php javascript-getting-and-setting-caret-position-in-textarea  function getCaretPosition ctrl        var CaretPos   0        IE Support     if  document selection            ctrl focus            var Sel   document selection createRange            Sel moveStart  character   -ctrl value length           CaretPos   Sel text length               Firefox support     else if  ctrl selectionStart    ctrl selectionStart     0             CaretPos   ctrl selectionStart             return CaretPos     function setCaretPosition ctrl  pos        if  ctrl setSelectionRange            ctrl focus            ctrl setSelectionRange pos pos             else if  ctrl createTextRange            var range   ctrl createTextRange            range collapse true           range moveEnd  character   pos           range moveStart  character   pos           range select                 The real work    function            input   keyup function                Remember original caret position         var caretPosition   getCaretPosition this               Uppercase-ize contents         this value   this value toLocaleUpperCase                Reset caret position             we ignore selection length  as typing deselects anyway          setCaretPosition this  caretPosition                   Ultimately  it might be easiest to fake it  Set the style text-transform  uppercase on the textbox so that it appears uppercase to the user  then in your Javascript apply the text transformation once whenever the user s caret focus leaves the textbox entirely   HTML    lt input type  text  name  keywords  class  uppercase    gt    CSS   input uppercase   text-transform  uppercase      Javascript     function            input   focusout function                Uppercase-ize contents         this value   this value toLocaleUpperCase                  Hope this helps

I think the most easiest way to do is by using Bootstrap s class   text-uppercase     lt input type  text  class  text-uppercase    gt

User · Answer

I couldn t find the text-uppercase in Bootstrap referred to in one of the answers  No matter  I created it    text-uppercase     text-transform  uppercase      This displays text in uppercase  but the underlying data is not transformed in this way  So in jquery I have       text-uppercase   keyup function          this value   this value toLocaleUpperCase          This will change the underlying data wherever you use the text-uppercase class

try       search input keywords   bind  change   function          this value toUpperCase          EDIT  As  Mike Samuel suggested  this will be more appropriate for the job     this value   this value toLocaleUpperCase

User · Answer

I think the most elegant way is without any javascript but with css  You can use text-transform  uppercase  this is inline just for the idea     lt input id  yourid  style  text-transform  uppercase  type  text    gt    Edit   So  in your case  if you want keywords to be uppercase change  keywords      keywords   val    to     keywords   val   toUpperCase

Here we use onkeyup event in input field which triggered when the user releases a Key  And here we change our value to uppercase by toUpperCase   function    Note that  text-transform  Uppercase  will only change the text in style  but not it s value  So In order to change value  Use this inline code that will show as well as change the value   lt input id  test-input  type    name    onkeyup  this value   this value toUpperCase     gt   Here is the code snippet that proved the value is change  x000D   x000D   lt  DOCTYPE html gt  x000D   lt html gt  x000D   lt head gt  x000D    lt title gt  lt  title gt  x000D   lt  head gt  x000D   lt body gt  x000D    lt form method  get  action    gt  x000D     lt input id  test-input  type    name    onkeyup  this value   this value toUpperCase     gt  x000D     lt input type  button  name    value  Submit  onclick  checking    gt  x000D    lt  form gt  x000D    lt script type  text javascript  gt  x000D    function checking argument    x000D        body    x000D     var x   document getElementById  test-input   value x000D     alert x   x000D      x000D     x000D     x000D    lt  script gt  x000D   lt  body gt  x000D   lt  html gt  x000D   x000D   x000D
