I've got a problem with a little a capitalisation script that is supposedly good that I copied from another source, the problem is I can't get it to work. I'm sure I am missing something vital here. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

----
String.prototype.capitalize = function() {
return this.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + this.slice(1);
};

function capitalName() {
var fullName = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fullname").getValue();
fullName.capitalize();
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fullname").setValue(fullName);
}

Hi Matt,

I assumed you are referring to the Full Name for a Contact. If so, try something like this (*tested):

String.prototype.capitalize = function() {
    return this.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + this.slice(1);
};

function capitalName() {
    var firstName = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("firstname").getValue();
    var lastName = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("lastname").getValue();
    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("firstname").setValue( firstName.capitalize() );
    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("lastname").setValue( lastName.capitalize() );
}
