i have textarea receives inputs in caps, fine users. users need text represented in normalized fasion - first letter of each sentence capitalized , rest lowercase.
i tried adapt suggestions other threads, somethings missing. please!
body
<form> <input value="select all" onclick="javascript:this.form.finaltext.focus();this.form.finaltext.select();" type="button"> <input value="clear all" onclick="this.form.finaltext.value=''" type="button"> <input value="normalize text" type="button" id="normalize"> <a href="#" id="copy-textarea"><input type=button value="copy clipboard"></a><br> <br> <textarea id="finaltext" cols="80" rows="50"> </textarea> </form> script
$(window).load(function(){ $('#normalize').click(function capitalizesentences(){ var captext = $("#finaltext").val(); captext = captext.tolowercase(); captext = captext.replace(/\.\n/g,".[-<br>-]. "); captext = captext.replace(/\.\s\n/g,". [-<br>-]. "); var wordsplit = '. '; var wordarray = captext.split(wordsplit); var numwords = wordarray.length; for(x=0;x<numwords;x++) { wordarray[x] = wordarray[x].replace(wordarray[x].charat(0),wordarray[x].charat(0).touppercase()); if(x==0) { captext = wordarray[x]+". "; }else if(x != numwords -1){ captext = captext+wordarray[x]+". "; }else if(x == numwords -1){ captext = captext+wordarray[x]; } } captext = captext.replace(/\[-<br>-\]\.\s/g,"\n"); captext = captext.replace(/\si\s/g," "); $("#finaltext").val(captext); }); }); update 1 script works.
new question how can manipulate logic in .replace brackets following situation:
the text area want allow "normalization" in following format:
- text1
- text2
- text3
with dash, space , caps text. .replace logic seems first character in string, treat each line (starting dash) separately , leave first letter thereafter capitalized.
i'm taking suggestion below , posting corrected code solved click problem - credit ross:
i needed wrap script in window.load function include function in dom after rendering.
$(window).load(function(){ ...script... }));
