DOES IT MATTER WEN WRITIN A SCRIPT THAT U USE CAPS TO WRITE THE PROCEDURES AND SUCH CUS AS U CAN SEE I LIKE TO TYPE THIS WAY

It does matter. Only constants should be written that way

Why would you want to write a script in all caps, anyway? It's annoying as hell as you can see in this post...

Remember Shrek when he first saw Farkwards castle?

IVE SEEN IT MANY TIMES BUT I STILL DONT REMEMBER WAT UR SAYIN

This guy rocks... for at least a few days.

IRC, Farkward was a shrimpo with a big castle.

Shrek asked if he was over compensating.

How hard would it be to let Miasma convert all characters in a post made by someone to lower case?

It'd be easier to make a function that changes all upper-case words of more than n letters in the equivalent in lower-case.

Never mind, I don't want posts like:

HEL LO I LIK E TO TYP E ALL UPP ER CAS E. It's starting to look scarily like a DNA-sequence.

IF U HAVENT NOTICED I DONT TYPE LIKE THAT

You haven't read my post thoroughly then.

I stated that writing a script (script in this case is a .cgi or a .php script, or even javascript) to change all upper case words larger than n (for example 3) letters to lower case automatically would be easy.

Also it'd be easy to circumvent this by only typing "words" of n (for example 3) letters, like I did.

There is a C function, located in string.h, that converts all the text to lowercase. It's strlwr.

So how are you gonna implement C in php or cgi code? Indeed, so you'll need it in php or cgi

I'm just nitpicking, but you can use C for CGI scripts, as long as the server supports it. In fact, CGI is language neutral. It's just a standard for passing data between client and server, IIRC.

Ok ok, I'm no expert at it It just seems easier to write some code in php or cgi itself compared to using code from other languages

It must be nice to have power.

I'm just learning C and I know a bit of HTML. I have no ideea how php and cgi works.

Well, as you can see by Phoenix's reply, I'm no expert at it either But I just reasoned that it would be easier to write it in php/cgi directly, as that would be more obvious.

Beh, I could write php code for it, but as Phoenix says, cgi apparently isn't a language. It's more of a standard to run other-language scripts/programs via a web browser. I believe this site is written in Perl, stored in .cgi scripts and made executable that way.

C for cgi

I would assume that any scripting language could be used to create a cgi compliant script, and elsewhere on this site they include VB, not just VBscript.

I suppose Perl is a frequent choice because Unix/Linux are popular for Server implementations. It is often already available on ISP Web Servers, and you just need them to turn it on for your site.

My 2p,

I know how to write that function in C, so Simeon was probably right, it's easier to write that function in cgi/php than make C work in web pages.

Having taken a second look, why not accomplish the whole thing in your CSS Stylesheet?

text-transform : [none|capitalize|uppercase|lowercase};
