Make first letter uppercase

[GiddyRob]

I would like the first letter of a word to be in uppercase. I want it to do it when a form is submitted. The user will input some writing in a textfield then when the form is submitted it changes the first letter. This will happen before it goes into the database. I am quite new to javascript and I have used a complex sorting js script. It is great but it doesn't ignore case.

Anyone know a method to do this?

Cheers

Rob

<script language="javascript">
function capitalizeFirst(str) {
   if (str.length) {
      if (str.length == 1) {
         str.value = str.value.toUpperCase();
      }
      else {
         str.value = str.value.substr(0, 1).toUpperCase() + str.value.substr(1, str.length - 1);
      }
   }
   return true;
}
</script>
<form onsubmit="return capitalizeFirst(document.getElementById('txt'))">
<input type="text" id="txt">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
