Upper Case Textbox Formating

[BillWFG]

I'd like to make the first letter of each word upper case and the rest unchanged. In my UX properties I found the following code "w_upper(<value>)" but when I use it in the "Text-box Properties, Display Format" it only fires when I submit the record. I need it to fire when I tab out of the control or when I use the mouse to move the focus point,

Has anyone the code I need to accomplish this job of capitalizing the first letter of each word in the field when I move out of the field or use the mouse.


Example: This Is a Test.....

Hi Bill,

Go to the Field's Properties (not the UX properties) and set the Display Format to what meets your needs.

Re: Upper Case Textbox Formating

go to field properties, select style, click on the expander button and scroll down to see transformation under Text, select Capitalize from the drop down list.
that will do

What Gandhi mentions is the CSS property for text-transform. text-transform: capitalize will transform the text so the first letter of each word is capital. MDN has an article on text-transform and examples of what each property does: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/...text-transform.

Re: Upper Case Textbox Formating

About everything I have resides in the tabbed UI, so I created/found functions and placed them in the UI javascript function area that any component can call. This one lower cases all, then uppers the first.



function toTitleCase(txt) {
var i, str, lowers, uppers;
str = txt.replace(/\w\S*/g, function(txt) {
return txt.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + txt.substr(1).toLowerCase();
});

// Certain minor words should be left lowercase unless
// they are the first or last words in the string
lowers = ['A', 'An', 'The', 'And', 'But', 'Or', 'For', 'Nor', 'As', 'At',
'By', 'For', 'From', 'In', 'Into', 'Near', 'Of', 'On', 'Onto', 'To', 'With'];
for (i = 0; i < lowers.length; i++)
str = str.replace(new RegExp('\\s' + lowers[i] + '\\s', 'g'),
function(txt) {
return txt.toLowerCase();
});

// Certain words such as initialisms or acronyms should be left uppercase
uppers = ['Id'];
for (i = 0; i < uppers.length; i++)
str = str.replace(new RegExp('\\b' + uppers[i] + '\\b', 'g'),
uppers[i].toUpperCase());

return str;
}

In your fields onchange javascript put:

this.value = toTitleCase(this.value);
