toLowerCase( ), toUpperCase( )	Firefox/Netscape/NN 2 IE 3 ECMA 1

Return a copy of the current string in all lowercase or uppercase letters. If you want to replace the current string with a case-adjusted version, assign the result of the method to the same string: myString = myString.toUpperCase( );

It is common to use either one of these methods to create a case-insensitive comparison of two strings. This is especially convenient if one of the strings being compared is entered by a user, who may submit a variety of case situations: if (document.forms[0].entry.value.toLowerCase( ) == compareValue) { ... }

Parameters
None.

Returned Value
String.
