The task is to capitalize the first letter of string without using toUpperCase() method with the help of jQuery. There are two approaches that are discussed below:

<!DOCTYPE HTML> 
<html
  
<head
    <title

        string to upper case using jQuery?
    </title>
      
    <script src=
    </script>
</head
  
<body style = "text-align:center;"
      
    <h1 style = "color:green;"
        GeeksForGeeks 
    </h1>
      
    <p>
        Click on the button to
        perform the operation.
    </p>
      
    Type Here: <input id = "input"/>
    <br><br>
      
    <button onclick = "GFG_Fun()">
        Click Here
    </button>
      
    <p id = "GFG"></p>
      
    <script>
        var geeks = document.getElementById('GFG');
          
        function GFG_Fun() {
            $('#input').css('textTransform', 'capitalize');
            geeks.innerHTML = "Text is capitalized";
        }
    </script
</body
  
</html>

Approach 2: In this example, we are using CSS property to perform the operation. A new ID has been added to the element which sets the property text-transform to capitalize.

Example:




<!DOCTYPE HTML> 
<html
  
<head
    <title

        string to upper case using jQuery?
    </title>
      
    <script src=
    </script>
      
    <style>
        #capital {
            text-transform: capitalize;
        }
    </style>
</head
  
<body style = "text-align:center;"
      
    <h1 style = "color:green;"
        GeeksForGeeks 
    </h1>
      
    <p>
        Click on the button to
        perform the operation.
    </p>
      
    Type Here: <input id = "input"/>
    <br><br>
      
    <button onclick = "GFG_Fun()">
        Click Here
    </button>
      
    <p id = "GFG"></p>
      
    <script>
        var geeks = document.getElementById('GFG');
          
        function GFG_Fun() {
            $('#input').attr('id', 'capital');
            geeks.innerHTML = "Text is capitalized";
        }
    </script
</body
  
</html>
