That will have to be client side scripted, if you use Zend_Dojo_Form you can use setUppercase($flag) or pop you favorite bit of Javascript in. You can use Zend_Validate to check server side once it has been submitted.

Zend_Form is a serverside representation of a Standard HTML form. Standard HTML Form have no built-in facility to force uppercase in the client. This would have to be enforced through the use of JavaScript. You have several options:

add some JavaScript code on the page that has the form and force uppercase from the clientside
add a Zend_Filter_StringToUpper filter to the element to make all input uppercase when data is passed to the form on the serverside
use a Zend_Dojo_Form_Element_TextBox with setUppercase set to true
