First letter MUST be uppercase

18 New Member
Hi there!

Nowadays trend is to write everything in lowercase. Last Names, First Names, City Names, etc...
Maybe the use of computers is one of the reasons to such bad typing.

In a form, there's a lot of Input Fields to fill-in...
Is there a way in AS to make the first letter typed in an uppercase one?

I thank you in advance for the help you'll provide.

Best regards,
Gerry

hello Gerry:
you could do something like this

Heres the code for the method:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. String.prototype.ucFirst=function()
  2. {
  3. if(arguments[0] == true)
  4. {
  5. var words=this.split(" ")
  6. for(var w in words)
  7. {
  8. words[w]=words[w].ucFirst()
  9. }
  10. return words.join(" ")
  11. }
  12. return this.charAt(0).toUpperCase()+this.substring(1,this.length)
  13. }

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. input_title="this is my title";
  2. title=input_title.ucFirst();
  3. input_name="guy watson";
  4. name=input_name.ucFirst(true);

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
