I have searched over the web can can't find anything to help me. I want to make the first letter of each word upper case within a variable.
So far i have tried:
toUpperCase();
And had no luck, as it uppercases all letters.
This question is related to
javascript
jquery
Use the .replace[MDN] function to replace the lowercase letters that begin a word with the capital letter.
var str = "hello world";_x000D_
str = str.toLowerCase().replace(/\b[a-z]/g, function(letter) {_x000D_
return letter.toUpperCase();_x000D_
});_x000D_
alert(str); //Displays "Hello World"Edit: If you are dealing with word characters other than just a-z, then the following (more complicated) regular expression might better suit your purposes.
var str = "???? ????????? björn über ñaque a?fa";_x000D_
str = str.toLowerCase().replace(/^[\u00C0-\u1FFF\u2C00-\uD7FF\w]|\s[\u00C0-\u1FFF\u2C00-\uD7FF\w]/g, function(letter) {_x000D_
return letter.toUpperCase();_x000D_
});_x000D_
alert(str); //Displays "???? ????????? Björn Über Ñaque ??fa"
