Hi,

 

We would like to use the 'toProperCase' function on the <%= recipient.preferredName %> 

 

But unsure of how to format it? Please could someone help!

 

Thanks,

Tutu

First define the function like this

<%

String.prototype.toProperCase = function() {
var words = this.split(' ');
var results = [];
for (var i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {
var letter = words[i].charAt(0).toUpperCase();
results.push(letter + words[i].slice(1));
}
return results.join(' ');
};

%>

Then you can use it like this 

<%= recipient.preferredName.toProperCase() %>

    Could also do something like this... (The joy of JavaScript, 1000 ways to do the same thing!)

     

    <%​
function nameProper() {​
  var name = recipient.firstName;​
  var propName = name.chartAt(0).toUpperCase() + name.slice(1);​
}%>​

Dear <%= nameProper %>,

     

    ​

    Dear <%= nameProper %>,

      Hi @tutsaa ,

       

      You can use a simple version also:

      <%= recipient.preferredName.substring(0,1).toUpperCase()+ recipient.preferredName.substring(1,100).toLowerCase() %>

       

      Thanks,
