Uppercase first letter of variable

Question

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:

Answer 1

I imagine you could use substring() and toUpperCase() to pull out the first character, uppercase it, and then replace the first character of your string with the result.

myString = "cheeseburger";
firstChar = myString.substring( 0, 1 ); // == "c"
firstChar.toUpperCase();
tail = myString.substring( 1 ); // == "heeseburger"
myString = firstChar + tail; // myString == "Cheeseburger"

I think that should work for you. Another thing to consider is that if this data is being displayed, you can add a class to its container that has the CSS property "text-transform: capitalize".
