I think the simplest solution to this is to do it with some client side javascript. It'll save
time and its simple to implement. Heres an example:
<script language="JavaScript">
function checkCaps()
{
temp=this.value;
temp.toUpperCase();
this.value=temp;
}
</script>
<form name=simple>
<input type=text name=test onChange=checkCaps(this)>
</form>
You can use that function for any fields you have in your form and make an equivelant function
for changing to lower case. The benefits of this are that it gets run right whent he client is
entering information and will change it automatically without the client having to hit submit and
wait for a response.
I suggest using JavaScript for all your form verification so that a user doesnt have to wait for
a CGI response and then have to go back and fix the form and resubmit. (however, the CGI form
checking should still be there as JavaScript is not secure and if someone wanted they can send
you 'bad' information).
Hope this helps,
