@Jake: That's the first thing I thought of too. Great minds and all that.

@Brandon: Thanks for the PHP version.

The WeCodeThings blog is an excellent resource. Thanks!

I just started learning CF and this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks to Jake for his suggestion too.

If anyone is looking to do this in php it's simply ucwords($variable or text);

Thanks,
Brandon

Hi Ryan,

Thanks a lot for pointing me in the direction of the We Code Things blog.
That is going to come in very handy indeed.

Best

Thanks for the CSS version of this! Exactly what I was looking for.

True, perhaps it could be improved upon. In my case the text I was working on was all caps already, so adding a check to leave all cap words would not have worked for me.

That ruins acronyms and other all-cap words.

Thats a great idea, that will work in many cases but it doesn't seem to work where I needed it yesterday – inside a select option.

You can do this with CSS too: element { text-transform:capitalize; }
