jQuery Title Case

Question

Is there a built in way with jQuery to \"title case\" a string? So given something like bob smith, it turns into \"Bob Smith\"?

Answer 1

You can also implement a pure javascript extension method like this:

String.prototype.capitalize = function () {

    return this.toLowerCase().replace(/\b[a-z]/g, function (letter) {
        return letter.toUpperCase();
    });
};

And call it like this:

"HELLO world".capitalize()
