- see footer for list info -<
I've done a very simple implementation of this before - I use CSS. UCASE
the variable then text-transform: capitalize.

Thanks for the input guys... regex is a good candidate... my regex is
pretty rusty
The CapFirstTitle() code looks interesting and also has a list of
words to not capitalise:
<cfscript>
function capFirstTitle(initText){
var Words = "";
var j = 1; var m = 1;
var doCap = "";
var thisWord = "";
var excludeWords = ArrayNew(1);
var outputString = "";
initText = LCASE(initText);
//Words to never capitalize
excludeWords[1] = "an";
excludeWords[2] = "the";
excludeWords[3] = "at";
excludeWords[4] = "by";
excludeWords[5] = "for";
excludeWords[6] = "of";
excludeWords[7] = "in";
excludeWords[8] = "up";
excludeWords[9] = "on";
excludeWords[10] = "to";
excludeWords[11] = "and";
excludeWords[12] = "as";
excludeWords[13] = "but";
excludeWords[14] = "if";
excludeWords[15] = "or";
excludeWords[16] = "nor";
excludeWords[17] = "a";
//Make each word in text an array variable
Words = ListToArray(initText, " ");
//Check words against exclude list
for(j=1; j LTE (ArrayLen(Words)); j = j+1){
doCap = true;
//Word must be less that four characters to be in the list
of excluded words
if(LEN(Words[j]) LT 4 ){
if(ListFind(ArrayToList(excludeWords,","),Words[j])){
doCap = false;
}
}
//Capitalize hyphenated words
if(ListLen(Words[j],"-") GT 1){
for(m=2; m LTE ListLen(Words[j], "-"); m=m+1){
thisWord = ListGetAt(Words[j], m, "-");
thisWord = UCase(Mid(thisWord,1, 1)) &
Mid(thisWord,2, LEN(thisWord)-1);
Words[j] = ListSetAt(Words[j], m,
thisWord, "-");
}
}
//Automatically capitalize first and last words
if(j eq 1 or j eq ArrayLen(Words)){
doCap = true;
}
//Capitalize qualifying words
if(doCap){
Words[j] = UCase(Mid(Words[j],1, 1)) &
Mid(Words[j],2, LEN(Words[j])-1);
}
}
outputString = ArrayToList(Words, " ");
return outputString;
}
</cfscript>
I'll have a play with this and also the regexes
Thanks very much guys
