well, I am more of a PHP person, and my JS skills are close to none when it comes to any JS other than simple design related operations , so excuse me if I am asking the obvious .
the following operations would be a breeze in PHP (and might also be in JS - but I am fighting with unfamiliar syntax here ...)
It is some sort of input validation
var ar = [BRS201103-0783-CT-S, MAGIC WORD, magic, Words, Magic-Word];
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery(form#searchreport).submit(function() {
if (jQuery.inArray(jQuery(input:first).val(), ar) != -1){
jQuery(#contentresults).delay(800).show(slow);
return false;
}
This question has 2 parts .
- 1 - how can I make it possible for the array to be case insensitive ?
E.g. - BRS201103-0783-CT-S
will give the same result as brs201103-0783-ct-s
AND Brs201103-0783-CT-s
or MAGIC magic Magic MaGIc
basically i need something like ignoreCase() for array , but I could not find any reference to that in jQuery nor JS...
I tried toLowerCase()
- but It is not working on the array (ittirating??) and also, would it resolve the mixed case ?
- 2 - How can I make the function to recognize only parts or
combinations of the elements ?
E.g. - if one types only word
, I would like it to pass as words
, and also if someone types some word
it should pass (containing word )
