Auto-capitalize form input

Hi all,
I've been seeing forms popping up here and there that auto-capitalize a user's input.  What I'm trying to get my form to do is capitalize each new word in a form field.  For example, instead of Firstname lastname, I'm going for Firstname Lastname.  I tried the css command text-transform: capitalize, which does the trick, but only on screen.  The capitalized values don't carry over; it's just an on-screen mask.  I also have autocapitalize="on" in each of my text input fields.
Thanks for any help/suggestions!

I would use CSS or Javascript for display in the client's browser then use a user defined function to handle captializing the input when it is handled on the server ( I assume you want to handle capitalization before inserting text into a database ). 
Try cflib.org for a CF function:

  • How do I turn off auto capitalization

    I have a disability in my left hand so i am not as quick on the key strokes.  This delay causes the letter to switch to a capital.  How do I turn this off?

    If you mean the auto capitalization from a long key press, that is not customizeable... it is there.
    Otherwise, there is this:
    Check main Settings (swipe down from the top bezel)
    Tap on Language and Input
    Tap on Prediction and Correction
    Tap on AutoCapitalize. That will turn off the auto-capitalization after a period.

  • HTML special characters in form input

    In my site I store form input in my database. Before I store
    the data, I parse out smart quotes, en dashes, and other extended
    special characters and convert them into HTHML quivalents such as
    ’
    All is well and good until the user goes to edit their info.
    In my form these characters show up in my <input> tags as
    their long-winded HTML equivalents, such as &#8217; instead of
    a smart apostrophe.
    Is there any way to convert these back to the special
    characters from the HTML on the form input text fields so that
    users can edit them without being confused?
    Thanks.

    Hmmm, well I ran the MX 6.1 updater and installed the two hot
    fixes that had to do with null pointer exceptions and it still does
    not work.
    Here is the detailed error I'm getting, if it helps. Any more
    ideas? Thanks again for the help, I'm really stuck on this one...

  • [OIM] Error in Direct Provisioning (with auto save form) - GTC DB App Table

    Hi,
    I am getting an error when setting up direct provision of a GTC DB App Conn using OIM access policy (and group membership) or through manual provisioning with prepopulate and auto save form.
    Manual provisioning with prepopulate ONLY (not with auto save form) WORKS!!!
    Some information about my OIM config:
    - Prepopulate adapters are set up on both forms (parent and child)
    - "Auto prepopulate" and "Auto save form" are set up at Process Definition
    - For direct provisioning, I have created an access policy with an associated group which has a membership rule
    What it is working:
    - Provisioning manually, using prepopulate adapters only, not auto save form. Both tables are updated properly
    - All *3 tasks are called and finished with status=Completed*: "System Validation", "Create User" and "Child Table UD_<connector child table name>_US row Inserted"
    Testing direct provisioning:
    - I have tested adding the resource manually with prepopulate and autosave form configured, and also through access policy/group membership. The error is the same on both tests
    - The resource is displayed as provisioned and it is created an entry in the parent table of the resource, but not on child table
    - I also observed that only: "System Validation" and "Create User" tasks were executed (status=Completed). But it is missing the task "Child Table UD_<connector child table name>_US row Inserted"
    - The error log info displays only an error regarding to UGP table (Groups info) but I am not sure if that is the cause of entry creation on child table.
    It seems the SQL stmt tries to get ugp_name (group name) using ugp_key but that has null value.
    "SELECT ugp_name FROM ugp WHERE ugp_key=java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-00936: missing expression"
    Note: When testing manually (without auto save form), I got "SELECT ugp_name FROM ugp WHERE ugp_key=1" which it is the same SQL stmt but the value is provided.
    My guess:
    - It seems that error is aborting the whole execution process so "Child Table UD_<connector child table name>_US row Inserted" task does not run, even though previous tasks are finished with the status=Completed. Consequently, the entry is not created on child table.
    Please, any guess or help would be very helpful. In case nothing works, I guess I will have to create and customize a "Update child Form" task as an workaround which would be called after "Create User" task.
    Regards,
    Hugo
    My environment:
    - Windows 2003, WebLogic 10.3.0.0, OIM 9.1.0.2 BL4, Oracle 10g, Java 1.6, DB App Table Connector 9.1.0.2 (from October 2009)
    - Target Resource: Parent and Child Table (Oracle 10g - the same OIM DB)

    An update:
    I solved that error about "ORA-00936: missing expression" applying OIM 9.1.0.2 BP05. That was not impacting my issue regarding direct provisioning with auto save form and child form.
    So please if anyone can confirm:
    - Can I set up prepopulate adapters on child forms AND also use "auto save form" on GTC DB App Table connector?
    If not, any suggestion?
    Regards
    Hugo

  • How do I enable "auto-capitalization" on Pages 5.2?

    I'm still used to Microsoft Word which would capitalize for me, at the beginnings of sentences, proper nouns, etc. Pages must have have it, right?

    The auto-capitalization feature still does not exist in Pages as of v5.2. It does exist in Pages ’09 v4.3, a prior release, that if you had it installed, the Pages v5 install would have moved it to /Applications/iWork ’09 folder.
    The freeware Devon Technologies WordServices Service suite of tools has a feature that for all selected text, it will perform the auto-capitalization feature for you. This does work in Pages v5.2. Its either Pages ’09, the shift key after full stop punctuation, or the WordServices tool. For now.

  • Pages 5.0 Auto-capitalization?

    Dispite of the fact that I really love the awesome apperance of Pages 5.0, I really feel very very very disapointed that Apple development team for Pages decided to take away some of the costomization options, e.g., the option to set "auto-capitalization" up along with some others. I believe that an "update" should be meant to add more 'costomization" options not take them away. In my case, I write many pages for my college assignments and I do not like to waste time Adding capitalized letters when the app itself could and should do it for me! I decided to switch back to Microsoft until and if Apple evelopment team in charge of this app decides to fix the problem. Now, my question is; have any of you guys find a way to fix this issue or downgrade to the previous version of Pages? if so, I would love to hear about that. Thanks in advance.

    The list of removed and altered features in Pages 5 is very long:
    http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&mforum=iworktipsn trick
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Trash or archive Pages 5 and review/rate it in the App Store.

  • How to auto capitalize after a period in text field

    Is there a way to make a text field auto capitalize after a period if the user has forgotten. I am currently using LiveCycle Designer ES4

    Try putting the following in the exit event of your text field:
    this.rawValue=this.rawValue.replace(/(^\w{1}|\.\s*\w{1})/gi, function(a){return a.toUpperCase();});

  • Apple Mail - how to get the first word in a sentence to auto-capitalize

    How to get the first word in a sentence to auto-capitalize
    Anwar

    something to look forward to then, because we get used not to use our shift button any more, since iPhone and iPad do it for us. entourage and other ms stuff do it. pages does it too now (put it on in the auto-correct in preferences). bizarre however some loose the capitalization when you copy the text. pages to stickies or mail does not. that's good !

    You are writing that in the perspective of having read about it here already. Repeated often enough that you encountered it somewhere in the posts.
    Users are flooding in here and don't know any of this. Of course we have to repeat everything endlessly.
    Because I like to give precise, understandable and workable answers to repeated questions, and Apple doesn't allow sticky posts here, I created a separate forum which users can consult to look up real answers, and contribute for themselves if they have something valuable to add:
    http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/
    There is a section purely devoted to Pages 5. Add whatever answers you feel will lighten the problems of Apple's 'upgrades'.
    Peter
    * Where have they acknowledged anything?
    ** They have barely anything listed, compared to the massive list of deleted features, and nothing but an extraordinarily long time frame considering they created the problems here and now. Apple has not said they will do anything at all about fixing the real issues, the biggest of which is that the new iWork apps break virtually all the work of existing users.

  • Auto Query Form on Page not working

    Hi,
    I created a simple form portlet and want to autoquery it on a certain record. I added this code to "Before displaying the page" :
    p_session.set_value(p_block_name => 'DEFAULT',
    p_attribute_name => 'A_STC_SAMPLINK',
    p_value => 620352);
    p_session.set_value(p_block_name => 'DEFAULT',
    p_attribute_name => '_CALLED_FROM_LINK',
    p_value => 'STC_SAMPLINK');
    PORTAL.wwa_api_module_event.do_event('DEFAULT', 'QUERY_BOTTOM', 1, 'ON_CLICK', True, '', p_session);
    This performs the query but i see this first record of my table, while it should show the record with STC_SAMPLINK = 620352. When I remove the do_event statement, i can see the field filled in correctly and when pressing the query-button manually, it does show the record with STC_SAMPLINK = 620352.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Using Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 on HP-UX

    I just discovered that it does work using p_session.set_shadow_value (with extra p_language parameter). Does this mean that note 316158.1 on metalink (based on Auto Query Form on Page is no longer valid for 10g ?

  • My Safari Auto fill forms never works

    My Safari (V5.0.1 (6533.17.8)) Auto fill forms never works. It is precisely tied to my
    address book card. I get this message:
    AutoFill completes webpage forms using information from your Address Book card or from web forms you completed previously. The information required by this form does not match any of the information available to AutoFill.
    but every thing matches.
    And yes prefs checked to use address book.
    Any thoughts please? Thanks

    HI Steve,
    Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left.
    Delete the "Safari Forms Autofill" keychain.
    Relaunch Safari.
    Hope this helps...

  • Stop auto-capitalization after i.e. or e.g.

    anyone have an idea how to stop auto-capitalization after typing "i.e." or "e.g."?
    I would like to retain the auto-capitalization for starting sentences.
    Thanks!

    I don't see that behavior on my Mac.
    Really? So in Pages > Preferences > Autocorrection, you have the box for Fix Capitalization checked, and when you type something like " i.e. the" you do not wind up with" i.e. The" as soon as you hit the space key?

  • How do I stop auto-capitalization?

    I have seen threads where people are complaining about auto-capitalization in certain applications. For me, it does it system-wide, all applications.
    I have gone to Edit > Spelling and Grammar and unchecked all options. It doesn't matter what I do, it ALWAYS auto-capitalizes the first word after a Return. Doesn't matter if I am in Pages, Evernote, TextEdit, whatever.
    I also went to System Preferences>Keyboard>Text and unchecked "Correct spelling automatically. Didn't fix the problem.
    Anyone have a fix for this issue?
    Gary

    Thank pmiles. I found that TextExpander was the culprit. I've had it installed for about a year but it just started doing this recently. Anyway, I found the preference option that had been turned on. Fixed it and it's all good now. Thanks again.

  • Auto-tabbing between input text fields in AS3

    Hello-
    I am having some trouble figuring out how to work auto-tabbing between input text fields when a user inputs a character. I have a series of text boxes with maxChar set to 1, and when the user inputs a character, I would like it to auto-tab to the next one. I'm putting together a crossword-style banner ad so the auto-tabbing will help tremendously.  All the input text fields are instanced on the stage as input1, input2, etc; not called in from a custom class.  Also, I've been working with AS3 for about 2 weeks lol!
    thanks!

    Awesome, thank you, that works nicely! Now I need to figure out how to capture individual keyCodes for each input and then come up with a conditional to check for right or wrong answers. I have a "check your answers" button all set up. I think I am almost there, possibly a syntax hiccup for me. Any advice on how to do that would be appreciated.
