javascript - 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 don't need jQuery for this; it can be accomplished using the native .replace() method:

function toTitleCase(str) {
    return str.replace(/(?:^|s)w/g, function(match) {
        return match.toUpperCase();
    });
}

alert(toTitleCase("foo bar baz")); // alerts "Foo Bar Baz"
