In PHP there is a very handy function called ucfirst which
Returns a string with the first character of str capitalized, if that character is alphabetic.
Needed that in JavaScript, but discovered there was no such thing.
Luckily I quickly found a function over at StackOverflow that I adjusted slightly and added to the string class:
String.prototype.ucfirst = function()
{
return this.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + this.substr(1);
}
{
return this.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + this.substr(1);
}
Can be used like so:
alert('some text'.ucfirst())
// Alerts: Some text
// Alerts: Some text
Alternative method
In some cases it might be good to handle this in CSS instead though. For example to uppercase the first letter in all list items, you can do this:
li:first-letter
{
text-transform: uppercase;
}
{
text-transform: uppercase;
}
Weeee 
Ok, back to work…
