First off, I know this is far from professional. I'm trying to learn how to work with strings. What this app is supposed to do is take a simple text input and do a few things with it:
count letters, count upper and lower case letters, count words and count spaces. Here is what I've done:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Case Check</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkCase(text)
{
var counter = 0;
var letters = 0;
var lowercase = 0;
var uppercase = 0;
var spaces = 0;
var words = 0;
for(; counter < text.length; counter++)
{
if(isUpperCase(text.charAt(counter))) {uppercase ++; letters++;}
if(isLowerCase(text.charAt(counter))) {lowercase ++; letters++;}
if((text.charAt(counter) == " ") && (counter < text.length))
{
spaces += 1;
words += 1;
}
if((text.charAt(counter) == ".") || (text.charAt(text(counter)) == ",")) continue;
}
return [letters, lowercase, uppercase, spaces, words];
}
function isUpperCase(character)
{
if(character == character.toUpperCase) return true;
else return false;
}
function isLowerCase(character)
{
if(character == character.toLowerCase) return true;
else return false;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var typed = prompt("Enter some words.");
var result = checkCase(typed);
document.write("Number of letters: " + result[0] + "br /");
document.write("Number of lowercase letters: " + result[1] + "br /");
document.write("Number of uppercase letters: " + result[2] + "br /");
document.write("Number of spaces: " + result[3] + "br /");
document.write("Number of words: " + result[4] + "br /");
</script>
</body>
Made several changes due to users' suggestions. The problem now is that it won't let me treat 'text' like a string object.

Use regular expressions.
Example
var s = "thisIsAstring";
var numUpper = s.length - s.replace(/[A-Z]/g, '').length;
// numUpper = 2
