Hello,

How can I make the first letter of a string to be upper case and all
the others lower case?

Thanks,
Miguel

Miguel, use the substring method to grad the first char and do a
toUpper() and use the substring function to grab the rest of the word
and do a toLower()

OK, today's email brought a comment from a reader, pointing out something that I'd long since noticed myself but hadn't done anything about it. On my pages, I've got a first-letter style on paragraphs. So far, so good: some of the paragraphs begin with a link, and there are styles in the stylesheet for link, hover etc. The first letter is still displayed as styled for the paragraph's first-letter.

For example: I have the following 2 lines: NQ,Z2003,11/11/2003,1416.5,1420,1402,1411.5 NQ,z2003,11/10/2003,223801,260154 NQ,H2004,11/11/2003,1416.5,1422.5,1406.5,1415 NQ,h2004,11/10/2003,56,1191 Notice the 1st line has uppercase Z (Z2003) and the 2nd line has lowercase z

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
