The toLowerCase() method converts a string to lowercase letters. The toLowerCase() method does not change the original string.
JavaScript provides two helpful functions for converting text to uppercase and lowercase. String. toLowerCase() converts a string to lowercase, and String. toUpperCase() converts a string to uppercase. var text = 'This sentence has some MIXED CASE LeTTeRs in it.
The toUpperCase() method returns the calling string value converted to uppercase. To convert a string to uppercase in JavaScript, use the toUpperCase() method. The toUpperCase() method does not affect the value of the string since JavaScript strings are immutable.
I think you want to lowercase the checked value? Try:
var jIsHasKids = $('#chkIsHasKids:checked').val().toLowerCase();
or you want to check it, then get its value as lowercase:
var jIsHasKids = $('#chkIsHasKids').attr("checked", true).val().toLowerCase();
If it's just for display purposes, you can render the text as upper or lower case in pure CSS, without any Javascript using the text-transform property:
.myclass {
text-transform: lowercase;
}
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/text-transform for more info.
However, note that this doesn't actually change the value to lower case; it just displays it that way. This means that if you examine the contents of the element (ie using Javascript), it will still be in its original format.
Try this:
var jIsHasKids = $('#chkIsHasKids').attr('checked');
jIsHasKids = jIsHasKids.toString().toLowerCase();
//OR
jIsHasKids = jIsHasKids.val().toLowerCase();
