Capitalize First Letter in Thread Title

The subject describes it rather well: this hack will automatically capitalize the first letter for all new thread titles. Simple, yet effective. Enjoy.

There's a bug in this hack.

If you try to create a thread called test with the contents of the word test and then you try and create a thread called Test and the contents of test it never creates the 2nd thread. big bug. Found it when I first tested it. I uninstalled it as well.

You can (at least on my board) create a thread with the exact same title as another thread, unless of course you have some sort of modification preventing this action.

I've got no idea what you're talking about. This hack is completely incapable of "blocking" the creation of any thread in any way.

Yes, as a matter of fact this is what I've been using on my personal site for ages, but I neveer thought of using it for thread titles

text-transform: none 
Defines normal text, with lower case letters and capital letters 

text-transform: capitalize
capitalize Each word in a text starts with a capital letter 

text-transform: uppercase 
Defines only capital letters 

text-transform: lowercase 
Defines no capital letters, only lower case letters

Wondered how I forgot this one!

Your link does not works. Can you fix it?

[TWTCommish]

I don't see the CSS solution as being "better" at all. It's certainly no quicker than the hack, which is remarkably simple. What's more, using a server-side solution allows even the very few who do not support CSS to benefit from its effects.

[gmarik]

TWTCommish - only NN 3 does not supports CSS, so we just will ignore them. Still, what is the CSS solution for that, Nano?

[TWTCommish]

Right. Over 99% of all surfers DO support it...but a small handful don't, and the CSS solution doesn't save any time, programmer-wise or processor-wise, over the server-side solution. So why use it?
