Help With A Javascript Code by Nobody: 3:00pm On Oct 30, 2016
Good P.M gurus and guruine's pls who can help me out with this code.
How can i use regExp to make a userguess case-insensitive if correct.

e.g <!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
bla bla bla
</head>
<body>
<h1> Guess A Month </h1><label for = "guess"> Input your Guess </label>
<input id = "guess" type = "text">
<button type = "button"> Click to Submit Guess </button>

<script>
var me = document.getElementById("guess"wink;
function guessMonth() { var myMonth = ["January", "February", "March",....//up to December]

var randomGuess = Math.floor(Math.random() * 12) + 1
var userGuess = myMonth[randomGuess];
if (me.value == userGuess) {window.alert("Congratulations"wink }
}
//ll still add other functionalities, but this is where my problem lies
</script>
</body>
</html>
my question is now, how can i write the code so that if the user inputs JANUARY or january or JAnuARY or so... he will still be correct if the guessed value was "January" as contained in the array.

pls i would really appreciate your answers

var checkEqual = me.toUpperCase()===user.toUpperCase()

as long as the two strings contain the same sequence of characters, checkEqual will be true.

Not explicitly. It checks whether the two values when converted to uppercase are equal. The actual values of both variables will remain unchanged....I be lady o lol.

Don't forget, it's not the element "me" itself u are converting to uppercase, but rather the value of the element.

As a beginner, I think one needs to build the foundation before moving to these libraries. Or what do u think?
