inputmask for last name

L

LyndsyJo

I'm trying to determine how to write an inputmask for a last name field that
will capitalize the first letter regardless of whether the user types in
uppercase or lowercase. I was using
L<CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

which works well for most entries. However, I run into a problem with
hyphenated last names. I need the first letter of the second last name to be
capitalized. For examples, I currently get "Smith-jones", but I want
"Smith-Jones". Is this possible?

Point-1: InputMasks are evil

Point-2: Not all last names begin with a capital letter.

At some point users have to take some responsibility for the data they
enter. I would remove the mask and tell users to spell names properly.
