@mr_ab18authorNov 30.2010 — The function is not working. I have written a function but it iis not workling, I assume that error is "documentType[j]".

for(var i = 0; i < documentType.length; i++){
var ch = documentType.charAt(i);
if(ch == ' '){
var j = i + 1;
var ch = documentType.charAt(j);
documentType[j] = ch.toLowerCase();
}

Please tell me what to do ?

Your example "abc def ghi jkl to abc Def Ghi Jkl" is to upper case, yet you use toLowerCase ?
