I've read the other examples where toLowerCase is undefined but I still don't understand. Can anyone explain why my function won't work?

var changeTitle = function() {

    var loanTitle = $(this).val();

    $(this).prev().text(loanTitle);

};

<h2>Loan One</h2>

<input type=text onkeypress=changeTitle() maxlength=25 />

In your function, the this object refers to the window and not the input field. Update your onkeypress code to the following:

<input type=text name=loanName onkeypress=changeTitle.call(this) class=loanNameV1 qForms maxlength=25 placeholder=Loan Name />
