Asked before: How do I make the first letter of a string uppercase in JavaScript?

The correct answer:

function capitalizeFirstLetter(string)

}

You can use it like this:

var myString = "hello world";
alert(capitalizeFirstLetter(myString));

And it would alert Hello world

You don't need JavaScript, it's enough with the CSS :first-letter pseudo-element.
