Uppercasing first letters of some words in descriptions

Using proper English should not be a problem.

Funny how simple questions make you rethink things in an entirely new way.

HTML Code:

<style type="text/css">
span {text-transform: capitalize;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<span>this is my title</span>

No more worries about caps in the title anymore. You could do the same with the description, text-transform the entire description to lowercase and then use a :first-letter transform to capitalize just the first letter of the sentence.

And if someone submits a two sentence description you just ban them.

Can I patent this idea?

Only if I can patent some PHP written by someone smarter than I.

$site_title = ucwords($site_title);
$site_descrip = strtolower($site_descrip);
$site_descrip = ucfirst($site_descrip);

Thx guys, both of those could come in handy.

Let's take the coding for Title one step further and figure out how to keep it from capitalizing words like in, to, the... unless they're the frist word.

My head began to hurt when I thought about this.

What happens if any of those words happen to be the first word in the title? This is a question for cd34 - not me.

Lately I've been wondering how often the cotton in my aspirin bottle should be changed? Mr Yum is right

OMG that made me laugh so hard in the middle of that discussion.

I've always capitalized the first letters of names, never really thought about if it caused a problem or not. Glad to hear though that doesn't seem to be the case. With me, it is spelling I have to watch out, I'll misspell things and read right over it and not catch it until I run spellcheck on something.
