Q:

Capitalise the first letter of each word within a certain class

Is it possible to capitalise the first letter of each word in a certain class name using jQuery / javascript? I just want to capitalise the first letter of each word of all the fields marked with the class 'capital'.
I just want it to do it as they type, and I know you can do it with css but this is no good as it is stored in the DB as lowercase still.

A:

Here's a simple jQuery plugin that could do this for you:
$.fn.capitalise = function() {
    return this.each(function() {
        var $this = $(this),
            text = $this.text(),
            tokens = text.split(" ").filter(function(t) {return t != ""; }),
            res = [],
            i,
            len,
            component;
        for (i = 0, len = tokens.length; i < len; i++) {
            component = tokens[i];
            res.push(component.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase());
            res.push(component.substring(1));
            res.push(" "); // put space back in
        }
        $this.text(res.join(""));
    });
};

And then call like:
$(".myClass").capitalise();

Here's a working example.

A:

The solution is something like this:
Working Sample: http://jsfiddle.net/Py7rW/7/
$('.captial').each(function(){
    var arr = $(this).text().split(' ');
    var result = "";
    for (var x=0; x<arr.length; x++)
        result+=arr[x].substring(0,1).toUpperCase()+arr[x].substring(1)+' ';
    $(this).text(result.substring(0, result.length-1));
});

A:

I think this will work :)
$('.capital').css("text-transform","capitalize");
