Question

I am trying to convert uppercase html attributes to lower case in order to make my document to meet XHTML 1.0 ADA compliancy standards.

But i am not able to get the desired output.Below is the code snippet i have used to do this operation.Please help me.

private static String LowerCaseAttributes(String htmlfile){

        String[] attributes = new String[] { 
        "border-bottom", "margin", "padding","bgcolor","width", "border", 
        "style", "alt", "title", "for", "col", "header", "clear", 
        "colspan", "rows", "cols", "type", "name", "id", "target", "method" 
        }; 

        for(String s1 : attributes){ 
            htmlfile = htmlfile.replace(s1.toUpperCase() + "=", s1 + "="); 
        } 
        return htmlfile; 
    }

I think the problem is that you are using “=” in your replace method, when in your input it has “:”.

Try this:

    for(String s1 : attributes){ 
        htmlfile = htmlfile.replaceAll(s1.toUpperCase() + ":", s1 + ":"); 
    }
