This week's code sample is JAVASCRIPT based. I found this while researching user validation routines. This function is a javascript version of a common Java function. We have replicated the calling syntax as a java programmer would expect to use it by effectively appending it as a method of the javascript String Object.

Important Note: Works with IE and FireFox

  
 //The first line assigns the MatchIgnoreCase function as
 //an equalsIgnoreCase method of the String object
 String.prototype.equalsIgnoreCase=MatchIgnoreCase;

 function MatchIgnoreCase(strTerm, strToSearch)   
 {       
     strToSearch = strToSearch.toLowerCase(); strTerm = strTerm.toLowerCase();        
     if(strToSearch==strTerm)
     {
         return true;
     }
     else
     {
         return false;
      }
 }
