[jQuery] Re: Can jQuery create Drop Caps?

[Dave Stewart]

Yup - you need jQuery and Regular Expressions:

var elements = $('a[class="tablink"]')
elements.each(
    function(){
        var html = $(this).html()
        html = html.replace(/([A-Z])/g, '<span class="dropcap">$1</
span>')
        $(this).html(html)
        }
    )
