I have a <select> element where I want to capitalize the text in each <option> tag.
Specifically, I want the options to display as Bar and Baz instead of bar and baz.
<style>
option { text-transform: Capitalize; }
</style>
<select name="foo">
<option value="bar">bar</option>
<option value="baz">baz</option>
</select>
This code doesn't seem to work in my Chrome (14.0.835.202) browser but works fine in Firefox (8.0) and IE 8.
Edit: Included <style> tag for clarity
As previously mentioned by others, there is currently an issue with Chrome that you can read about here. The correct code to achieve what you're looking for is as follows:
select option {text-transform:capitalize}
Feel free to check out a functional example in this JSFiddle link (please view it in a browser other than Chrome).
Additional Information:
It's worth noting that the method above may not work in Safari either. For a solution that works across all browsers, JavaScript is your best bet.
If you're interested, here's a simple jQuery snippet:
$("option").each(function() {
var $this = $(this);
$this.text($this.text().charAt(0).toUpperCase() + $this.text().slice(1));
});

** UPDATE **
This answer was originally provided back in 2011. The bug mentioned earlier has been fixed, and now simply using the CSS below will capitalize each option in all browsers.
select, select option {text-transform:capitalize}
This CSS snippet is compatible with all web browsers:
select {text-transform:capitalize}
To ensure compatibility with Chrome, a simple jQuery script can be utilized:
Utilize the following CSS to capitalize text in a select option:
To ensure that your option values are not in uppercase, you can use the `text-transform:capitalize` property. If they are in uppercase, you can first convert them to lowercase using `strtolower()` in PHP before applying the style for perfect results.
