The only trouble with the init-caps is that things like acronyms get slaughtered.
I know people say pre-processing is best, but there is also the option of using CSS to init-cap what's displayed... (still the same problem with acronyms tho). (the only advantage of this method is that you can short term clean up a display, while someone hand corrects the case "behind the scenes" so to speak.) And I think the CSS method does all words, like Of The And even. Some users may get pissed off if their name isn't in the McClean style, or their UBERcompany listing isn't Ubercompany enough. Speaking of, I think the UDF mentioned does McClean style stuff too, IIRC. Anyway, just a bit of random info from someone who's dealt with it 'fore. Mostly depends on how much of the case is messed up. If it's a lot, then use the UDF once, and have the people who complain modify their entries after. I really don't like "auto" init cap stuff, unless you've got some JS that shows the user what their entry will look like right when they type it in, vs. after. Even then, it's kinda a messed up idea. Language is just too random to have a computer decide what's right and wrong[2][1].

Unless the title starts with one of them. ;-) :DeN -ps CSS for init-caps: style="text-transform: capitalize;" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:251160 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
