How do I make the first letter of a string uppercase in JavaScript?

How do I make the first letter of a string uppercase, but not change the case of any of the other letters?
For example:
  • this is a test -> This is a test
  • the Eiffel Tower -> The Eiffel Tower
  • /index.html -> /index.html


Most Best Solution:

Another solution:
function capitalizeFirstLetter(string) {
    return string.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + string.slice(1);
}
You could also add it to the String.prototype so you could chain it with other methods:
String.prototype.capitalizeFirstLetter = function() {
    return this.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + this.slice(1);
}
and use it like this:
'string'.capitalizeFirstLetter() // String
