javascript compare strings without being case sensitive [duplicate]

Question

I have to check some strings using JavaScript but case sensitivity is causing problems. for example

if('abc'=='ABC') { return true; } 

it will not go inside the if loop though the meaning of the word are same. I cant use tolower clause too since i dont know the data how it would come it means for ex:

if('aBc'=='abC') { return true; } 

how to write the JS function for this if it could be done by jquery.

Answer 1

You can make both arguments lower case, and that way you will always end up with a case insensitive search.

var string1 = "aBc"; var string2 = "AbC";  if (string1.toLowerCase() === string2.toLowerCase()) {     #stuff }
