Well, it really depends on, what you actually want. You can assign a value to any element selected by ID, using .value property. For example: document.getElementById("input").value = "Gekoda"; Or you can add an attribute value=" Gekoda. [[[[[[I N A C T I V E]]]]]] " to any input HTML element. Like so ↓↓↓: <input type="text" value="Gekoda"/> Remember! Input receives a string of text from a user, not a number. Also upperCase() is NOT a value. It's a .style.textTransform property. You can assign it in the same way as .value .

Another variant requires transition variable to perform .toUpperCase() method: https://code.sololearn.com/W3Q9UBM2CaIl/?ref=app This should work best for your case 😉.

A short version, based on the second part of your question. If you have selected the element X and you want to style it, this will work 👇: document.getElementById("x").style.textTransform = "uppercase";

Define all the variable at once in the start of script. <script> Var a, b, c, d ; And then use as a= document. Getelementbyid("input") ; You can Do it like that.

x=document.getElementById("input").value.toUpperCase(); Or x = document.getElementById("input"); x.value = x.value.toUpperCase(); += also works but adds 2times value like 'a' to 'aA'
