Question
Is it possible to trigger a keyboard button with JavaScript, and to get a input-case depending on the Caps Lock button?
So, if my Caps Lock is on, "IT SHOULD BE UPPERCASED" or "it should be lowercased if it's off".
Solution
Trigger an key event:
var ev = jQuery.Event("keypress");
ev.ctrlKey = false;
ev.which = 37;
$("container").trigger(ev);
Hope that helps.
OTHER TIPS
javascript event object gives you different key code depending on either you capslock is pressed or not.
$('#yourTxtBox').keypress(function(e){
//eg:for small case letter 'a' it give you '65' and for capital 'A' it gives you '97'
console.log(e.which);
});
so you can easily identify that your capslock is pressed or not.
