How to capitalise input to a text box?

Hi there, I am trying to have the input of a text box both appear and be stored in uppercase. I found the following line here, however it's not working for me and I wonder if it's clashing with my existing code.
Here's the line I want to integrate:
jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText").on("input", function() { this.value = this.value.toUpperCase(); });

And here is my existing code:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()  {
//hide next button
this.hideNextButton();
//press enter to go to next question
    document.on("keydown", function(e) {
         if (e.keyCode === 13) $('NextButton').click();
    });
});


Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function(){
//cursor in text box
$(this.questionId).down('.InputText').focus().defer();
});
Have tried putting the new line in each of the Onload and OnReady functions.
I'm new to javascript so apologies if I'm missing something very obvious

Never mind I answered my own question! I will leave it up in case this helps anyone else though - the solution was to put it before the cursor line within the OnReady function, for some reason it did not work if I put it second.

    });
});


Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function(){
//capitalise text entry
jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText").on("input", function() { this.value = this.value.toUpperCase(); });
//cursor in text box
$(this.questionId).down('.InputText').focus().defer();
});
