hide layers

I need to hide a layer called draft but some times it's spelt Draft and other times its draft.

openDocs.layers.item("(?i)DRAFT").visible = false; // This was a failed attempt

I thought that maybe changing it toUpperCase might work but it didn't, maybe my code was wrong.

Can anyone provide some guidance?

Am not sure we can use regular expression in condition like you did, but we can use like below

var input = ['Draft','draft'];  
i = input.length;  
  while(i--){ 
    if(openDocs.layers.itemByName(input).visible==true){  
        openDocs.layers.itemByName(input).visible=false;  
} 
      
      }

Thanks

Is there a way of testing it by converting the string to upper or lowercase?

We can use toLowercase or toUppercase, for example

var mylayer="Draft"

alert(mylayer.toLowerCase())
