Title case + CSS

Hi There,

I need to 'title case' all the text on my form.

There is no 'title case' option available on .css.
The only options are lowercase, uppercase and capitalize.

/* Capitalize */
text-transform:capitalize;

/* Lowercase */
text-transform:lowercase;

/* Uppercase */
text-transform:uppercase;

Capitilize is probably the closest to title case but will only transform text if it is typed in lowercase.
So --> 'this is the text' will be transformed to --> 'This Is The Text'.
However --> 'THIS IS THE TEXT' will remain as typed. Pretty weird.
What is even more strange is that 'capitalize' does not work on DropDownList's.

If anyone has a solution to title case text (that does not involve javascript or reg ex) - please let me know.

Thanks

How about this?

Just be aware that copying the text will still give you the original capitalisation.

[HTML]<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
p.gimmecaps { text-transform:lowercase; }
p.gimmecaps:first-letter { text-transform:uppercase; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p class="gimmecaps">foobarisan</p>
<p class="gimmecaps">FOOBARISAN</p>
<p class="gimmecaps">FoobARisAN</p>
<p class="gimmecaps">fOoBaRiSaN</p>

</body>
</html>[/HTML]
