Javascript Title Case

In the following tutorial I will explain how to capitalize the first letter in a Javascript string.

It's very simple - simply by grabbing the first letter, capitalizing it, then appending the rest of the string on the end.



var mystr = "hello world!";
mystr = mystr.substr(0,1).toUpperCase()+mystr.substr(1);


As simply as that, mystr will now equal "Hello world!".

It would be very easy to expand this script to capitalize the first letter in each word in a sentence, but I'll leave that up to you!

Have fun! If you have any issues, please drop me a line.

If you liked this tutorial please tell a friend.

Cheers
