How do I make the first letter of a string uppercase in JavaScript?

Question

How do I make the first letter of a string uppercase, but not change the case of any of the other letters?

For example:

• \"this is a test\"

Answer 1

String.prototype.capitalize = function(){
    return this.replace( /(^|\s)([a-z])/g , function(m,p1,p2){ return p1+p2.toUpperCase();
    } );
};

Usage:

capitalizedString = someString.capitalize();

This is a text string => This Is A Text String
