Menu
I have a textbox on my website and the user can input commands. But the thing is the commands are case sensitive. How do I make the commands not case sensitive? Here is my code:
JavaScript:
function showAlert() {
var txtCtrl = document.getElementById("textbox1");
var txtVal = txtCtrl.value;
if (txtVal == '') {
alert('Please fill in the text box. For a list of commands type "Help" into the text box.');
}else if (txtVal == 'Start' || txtVal == 'start') {
alert('Hello. What would you like me to do?');
}else if (txtVal === 'Weather' || txtVal === 'weather') {
window.location = "https://www.google.com/#q=weather";
}else if (txtVal === 'Time' || txtVal === 'time') {
alert('The current time according to your computer is' + formatTime(new Date()));
}else if (txtVal === 'Help' || txtVal === 'help') {
window.location = "help/index.html";
}else if (txtVal === 'Donate' || txtVal === 'donate') {
window.location = "donate/index.html";
}else if (txtVal === 'www.' || txtVal === 'WWW.') {
}else{
alert('Sorry, I do not reconise that command. For a list of commands, type "Help" into the text box.');
}
}
//Show time in 24hour format
function showTime(){
var today = new Date();
var h = today.getHours();
var m = today.getMinutes();
return [ h, m ].join(':')
}
//Show time in 12hour format
var formatTime = (function () {
function addZero(num) {
return (num >= 0 && num < 10) ? "0" + num : num + "";
}
return function (dt) {
var formatted = '';
if (dt) {
var hours24 = dt.getHours();
var hours = ((hours24 + 11) % 12) + 1;
formatted = [formatted, [addZero(hours), addZero(dt.getMinutes())].join(":"), hours24 > 11 ? "PM" : "AM"].join(" ");
}
return formatted;
}
})();
And HTML:

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Omar!
Edit:
I figured it out, I made two new variables:
var txtValUpper = txtVal.toUpperCase();
and
var txtValLower = txtVal.toLowerCase();
then put them into the code for example:
if (txtValUpper == 'start' || txtValLower == 'start')
{
alert('Hello. What would you like me to do?');
}
664
To case insensitively compare strings, convert them to consistent case first.
if ("Foo".toLowerCase() === "fOo".toLowerCase())
You can convert string to uppercase and compare them
if(txtVal.toUpperCase() === "Donate".toUpperCase())
After this line
var txtVal = txtCtrl.value;
txtVal = txtVal.toLowerCase();
