Capital Letters or Uppercase Letters

I was using this script four four years and it worked until I changed my Page.

<TD Width="3%"><Span Style="Text-Transform: Uppercase"><INPUT TYPE="Text" Name="txtPosA" Size="2" MaxLength="2"></Span>

Does anyone know what change was made for why this script no longer works?

<INPUT TYPE="Text" Name="txtPosA" Style="Text-Transform: Uppercase" Size="2" MaxLength="2">

The style being applied in the span tag will not effect the style in the input tag.
Place the style inside the input tag.

Well, it's not script. It's HTML with some inline CSS. However, I don't
see anything that shouldn't work.
What's it doing/not doing? Did you paste the correct content here?

The OP's expectation is the text type into the text box will be
auto-converted into upper case, which is what happens when the style is
applied directly to the input element. The assumed behavior is that the
text-transform css attribute for the input element would be inherited from
its parent element. At least that's what the docs imply...

Ah, I guess inheritance isn't supported in IE?

It appears that IE doesn't inherit this property but NS6 and O4 do.
http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/css/properties/text/texttrans.htm

I tested it in IE6, O7 and Moz1.6. I don't have NS. It only worked in
Opera out of those with inheritance. Looks like IE and Mozilla have screwed
the pooch, even though IE states it in their docs. Hmmm... I wonder if it
worked in an earlier version of IE, which I don't have.

Thanks for pointing that out Michael.

Just tested FireFox 0.9. It doesn't inherit either.
