I made a new footer this morning which you can check out below, but can anyone tell me why it has that code bit in the text box or how I can Get rid of it?

Also, how can I make it not case sensitive?

Thanks

Ben

That’s probably because you gave it a variable name. Use instance names instead.

And to make it not case sensitive, you can use either text.toLowerCase () or text.toUpperCase () (hmm… I’m not sure it’s really how it’s called :-/)
