Formatting input text?

I wonder whether this is possible? I would like to format a text input so that the first letter of the input (as the user is typing it in) would automatically be converted to Uppercase (capitals). Furthermore, if it is possible, I would like to pre-format the date "input type=text" so that only numbers or dashes could be entered. I really enjoyted this capablity in Paradox PAL language. Does anything exist that would allow me to do this in PHP? An example: Code <td><b>Surname</b></td> <td><input type=text name=rap></td> Screen (and into database) Surname: black >> would be converted as they type to >> Surname: Black Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
