Convert string to Title Case with JavaScript
javascript, title-case
Solution
Try this:
function toTitleCase(str) {
return str.replace(
/\w\S*/g,
function(txt) {
return txt.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + txt.substr(1).toLowerCase();
}
);
}
<form>
Input:
<br /><textarea name="input" onchange="form.output.value=toTitleCase(this.value)" onkeyup="form.output.value=toTitleCase(this.value)"></textarea>
<br />Output:
<br /><textarea name="output" readonly onclick="select(this)"></textarea>
</form>
Problem
Is there a simple way to convert a string to Title Case? E.g. `john smith` becomes `John Smith`. I'm not looking for something complicated like John Resig's solution, just (hopefully) some kind of one- or two-liner.
