Not to be a explotive deleted. But you do realize that JavaScript has nothing to do with Java minus their similar syntax, right?

Anyways, getting passed that, I take it JavaScript doesn't have a toUppserCase method?

Eh, free bump to you.

The string object should have a toUpperCase method. What you should do is intercept the submit function in your form object and call toUpperCase on the field that you want to change, something like:

<script language="JavaScript">
function mkFormUpperCase() {
  field.value = field.value.toUpperCase();
}
</script>

<form ... onsubmit="mkFormUpperCase(); this.submit();">
  <input type="text" name="field" />
  <input type="submit" />
</form>

Should be something similar to that, although my JavaScript is pretty rusty. There should be some decent pages about it. (http://javascript.internet.com/forms/val-cookie.html is ok, not exactly what you are looking for, but it should help.)
