Not capitalizing the first letter of every word

Metro_ITS

Can we disable the auto-capitalizing of the first letter of every word? We'd like our surveys to look a little more grammatically correct.

Hi,

This css snippet will 'turn this off'. This should do it across the portal, so if its just specific text, or just specific pages you might need to target just those items.

label {
   text-transform: none;
}

@merlenette_jones I appreciate it's by design, but as Metro_ITS states, it's grammatically incorrect so it would have been nice to have the option to turn this off.

@Geoff_Ross Thanks for the CSS snippet, you will have made a lot of people very happy here!

Not just in the survey app either... v6+ of the portal also capitalises the first letter of every word which we've also had plenty of comments about internally!

Hello,


Are you requesting this as a feature or are you looking for a way to turn it off, because this is by design

Thank you Geoff. Seeing as how we've come to expect the portal's text-transform across the site, it is likely we have posted questions in ALL CAPS, or all lower in various places, knowing that the site will transform them. (our bad). If we proceed with the "text-transform: none;" I expect the survey we are developing will look good, but the rest of the site will require some pretty detailed review. Is there a way to just use your fix for the Survey in the meantime?

In my opinion, the best solution is to make it an option. I can't imagine that people like to have every word starting with a capital, but perhaps I'm wrong . Best solution is to give the admin the following options:
1. Show titles in capitols
2. Show title with first letter capitol of every word
3. Show title as-is

If I wanted to target just a specific page, how would I go about doing this?

Hi,

Is there someting changed in Version 7.3? Suddenly auto-capitalizing is back.
