String.prototype.capitalize = function() {
    return this.toLowerCase().split(' ').map(capFirst).join(' ');
    function capFirst(str) {
        return str.length === 0 ? str : str[0].toUpperCase() + str.substr(1);
    }
}

用法:

"hello world".capitalize()

这个解决方案将标点符号考虑到新句子中，处理引用，将小词转换为小写，忽略首字母缩写或全大写单词。

var stopWordsArray = new Array("a", "all", "am", "an", "and", "any", "are", "as", "at", "be", "but", "by", "can", "can't", "did", "didn't", "do", "does", "doesn't", "don't", "else", "for", "get", "gets", "go", "got", "had", "has", "he", "he's", "her", "here", "hers", "hi", "him", "his", "how", "i'd", "i'll", "i'm", "i've", "if", "in", "is", "isn't", "it", "it's", "its", "let", "let's", "may", "me", "my", "no", "of", "off", "on", "our", "ours", "she", "so", "than", "that", "that's", "thats", "the", "their", "theirs", "them", "then", "there", "there's", "these", "they", "they'd", "they'll", "they're", "they've", "this", "those", "to", "too", "try", "until", "us", "want", "wants", "was", "wasn't", "we", "we'd", "we'll", "we're", "we've", "well", "went", "were", "weren't", "what", "what's", "when", "where", "which", "who", "who's", "whose", "why", "will", "with", "won't", "would", "yes", "yet", "you", "you'd", "you'll", "you're", "you've", "your");

// Only significant words are transformed. Handles acronyms and punctuation
String.prototype.toTitleCase = function() {
    var newSentence = true;
    return this.split(/\s+/).map(function(word) {
        if (word == "") { return; }
        var canCapitalise = true;
        // Get the pos of the first alpha char (word might start with " or ')
        var firstAlphaCharPos = word.search(/\w/);
        // Check for uppercase char that is not the first char (might be acronym or all caps)
        if (word.search(/[A-Z]/) > 0) {
            canCapitalise = false;
        } else if (stopWordsArray.indexOf(word) != -1) {
            // Is a stop word and not a new sentence
            word.toLowerCase();
            if (!newSentence) {
                canCapitalise = false;
            }
        }
        // Is this the last word in a sentence?
        newSentence = (word.search(/[\.!\?:]['"]?$/) > 0)? true : false;
        return (canCapitalise)? word.replace(word[firstAlphaCharPos], word[firstAlphaCharPos].toUpperCase()) : word;
    }).join(' ');
}

// Pass a string using dot notation:
alert("A critical examination of Plato's view of the human nature".toTitleCase());
var str = "Ten years on: a study into the effectiveness of NCEA in New Zealand schools";
str.toTitleCase());
str = "\"Where to from here?\" the effectivness of eLearning in childhood education";
alert(str.toTitleCase());

/* Result:
A Critical Examination of Plato's View of the Human Nature.
Ten Years On: A Study Into the Effectiveness of NCEA in New Zealand Schools.
"Where to From Here?" The Effectivness of eLearning in Childhood Education. */

如果一个CSS解决方案满足你的需求，你可以应用文本转换CSS样式到你的控件:

text-transform: capitalize;

请注意，这将会改变: hello world到hello world HELLO WORLD到HELLO WORLD(不变) emily-jane o'brien致emily-jane o'brien(不正确) 玛丽亚·冯·特拉普写给玛丽亚·冯·特拉普(不正确)

如果你担心这些填充词，你可以告诉函数什么不大写。

/**
 * @param String str The text to be converted to titleCase.
 * @param Array glue the words to leave in lowercase. 
 */
var titleCase = function(str, glue){
    glue = (glue) ? glue : ['of', 'for', 'and'];
    return str.replace(/(\w)(\w*)/g, function(_, i, r){
        var j = i.toUpperCase() + (r != null ? r : "");
        return (glue.indexOf(j.toLowerCase())<0)?j:j.toLowerCase();
    });
};

希望这能帮到你。

如果你想处理领先的粘合词，你可以跟踪这个w/另一个变量:

var titleCase = function(str, glue){
    glue = !!glue ? glue : ['of', 'for', 'and', 'a'];
    var first = true;
    return str.replace(/(\w)(\w*)/g, function(_, i, r) {
        var j = i.toUpperCase() + (r != null ? r : '').toLowerCase();
        var result = ((glue.indexOf(j.toLowerCase()) < 0) || first) ? j : j.toLowerCase();
        first = false;
        return result;
    });
};

一种稍微优雅一点的方式，改编了Greg Dean的功能:

String.prototype.toProperCase = function () {
    return this.replace(/\w\S*/g, function(txt){return txt.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + txt.substr(1).toLowerCase();});
};

这样称呼它:

"pascal".toProperCase();

var toMatch = "john w. smith";
var result = toMatch.replace(/(\w)(\w*)/g, function (_, i, r) {
      return i.toUpperCase() + (r != null ? r : "");
    }
)

似乎有用… 用上面的测试，“快棕色的狐狸?/跳过/越过了……“C:/程序文件/某些供应商/他们的第二个应用程序/a file1.txt”。

如果你想要2Nd而不是2Nd，你可以更改为/([a-z])(\w*)/g。

第一种形式可以简化为:

function toTitleCase(toTransform) {
  return toTransform.replace(/\b([a-z])/g, function (_, initial) {
      return initial.toUpperCase();
  });
}
