Note that the function will ONLY work on STRING objects   For instance  I was consuming a plugin  and was confused why I was getting a   extension tolowercase is not a function  JS error    onChange  function file  extension              alert  extension toLowerCase    gt     extension toLowerCase       lt        Which produced the error  extension toLowerCase is not a function  So I tried this piece of code  which revealed the problem   alert   typeof extension   gt      typeof extension      lt         The output was  typeof extension   object lt    - so AhHa  I was NOT getting a string var for my input   The fix is straight forward though - just force the darn thing into a String    var extension   String extension     After the cast  the extension toLowerCase   function worked fine

toLocaleUpperCase   or lower case functions don t behave like they should do   For example in my system  Safari 4  Chrome 4 Beta  Firefox 3 5 x it converts strings with Turkish characters incorrectly   The browsers respond to navigator language as  en-US    tr    en-US  respectively   But there is no way to get user s Accept-Lang setting in the browser as far as I could find   Only Chrome gives me trouble although I have configured every browser as tr-TR locale preferred   I think these settings only affect HTTP header  but we can t access to these settings via JS   In the Mozilla documentation it says  The characters within a string are converted to     while respecting the current locale   For most languages  this will return the same as        I think it s valid for Turkish  it doesn t differ it s configured as en or tr   In Turkish it should convert  DIN    to  din    and  DIN    to  din    or vice-versa

Use either toLowerCase or toLocaleLowerCase methods of the String object  The difference is that toLocaleLowerCase will take current locale of the user host into account  As per    15 5 4 17 of the ECMAScript Language Specification  ECMA-262   toLocaleLowerCase           works exactly the same as toLowerCase   except that its result is intended to   yield the correct result for the host   environment   s current locale  rather   than a locale-independent result    There will only be a difference in the   few cases  such as Turkish  where the   rules for that language conflict with   the regular Unicode case mappings    Example   var lower    Your Name  toLowerCase      Also note that the toLowerCase and toLocaleLowerCase functions are implemented to work generically on any value type  Therefore you can invoke these functions even on non-String objects  Doing so will imply automatic conversion to a string value prior to changing the case of each character in the resulting string value  For example  you can apply toLowerCase directly on a date like this   var lower   String prototype toLowerCase apply new Date       and which is effectively equivalent to   var lower   new Date   toString   toLowerCase      The second form is generally preferred for its simplicity and readability  On earlier versions of IE  the first had the benefit that it could work with a null value  The result of applying toLowerCase or toLocaleLowerCase on null would yield null  and not an error condition

Yes  any string in JavaScript has a toLowerCase   method that will return a new string that is the old string in all lower case   The old string will remain unchanged   So  you can do something like    Foo  toLowerCase    document getElementById  myField   value toLowerCase
