Question

asked the original question here:
Javascript – text field submits to a popup window

Mash was kind enough to help and answer.

I’m having a strange issue where on the Home page the code is NOT working – goes into the alert each time. but on other pages – it seems to be working properly.

to test use the code: 120663A

Scroll down and enter the lot number above

Any suggestions/help would be very welcome?

thanks

Although you keep text-transform: uppercase in both page. when you type 120663a, $(‘input[type=text]’).val() only show 120663a.

That’s why if ($('input[type=text]').val() == "120663a") { in http://freshomega.com/w/tester works and

if ($('input[type=text]').val() == "120663A") { in http://freshomega.com/w/ does not work.
I hope this will help.

You can test 120663A in both page, the result will be reverse.

To solve this,
I will do the input text to change upper case in both pages for consistency using toUpperCase() function or change both to lower case.

For example,

if ($('input[type=text]').val().toUpperCase() == "120663A") {
    window.open("http://freshomega.com/w/files/120663A.pdf");

I hope this would help.
