Using getElementsByTagName and Case Conversion

i am currently using script from an asp to open an xml nodelist by using
criteria passed through from the user.
the problem i have is that if the user passes in 'beach' in i use this
in the expression to generate a nodelist but the xml data is storing
'Beach' i will get no results back. i have tried using the translate
function but it doesn't seem to work...anyone have any ideas?
