Gives the correct result, but doesn't give a checkmark

Challenge Bonfire: Title Case a Sentence has an issue.
User Agent is: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0.
Please describe how to reproduce this issue, and include links to screenshots if possible.

My code:

function titleCase(str) {
  str = str.toLowerCase().replace(/((?=\b)([a-z])(?=[a-z]|'))|(\b[a]?)/g, function(firstLetter){
  return firstLetter.toUpperCase();
  });
  return str;
}

titleCase("I'm a little tea pot");

This code returns what the challenge asks for, yet it doesn't give a green checkmark for it.

This issue hasn't been resolved yet. I'm getting the same result and it's still not passing...

Hi,

I have the same issue.
Here is my code

text="";
function titleCase(str) {
array = str.split(" ");
for(i=0; i<array.length; i++){
text += array[i].charAt(0).toUpperCase()
+ array[i].substr(1,array[i].length-1).toLowerCase()
+ " ";
}
return text.trim();
}

titleCase("sHoRt AnD sToUt");

@jero930 Your code is failing the tests because you're using a global variable text in your function. It looks like it works because the first time you run the function it works as expected, but any time after that the function won't work as expected because the text variable is not empty. You should be initializing your variables in the function itself with a var keyword in front of it to avoid this problem.

Thanks and happy coding!

Well, I have a similar problem too.

My code:

function titleCase(str)
{
  str = str.toLowerCase().replace(/\b\S/g, function (m) {return m.toUpperCase();});
  str = str.replace(/'\S/g, function (n) {return n.toLowerCase();});
  return str;
}

titleCase("I'm a little tea pot");

I get the correct string, but I don't get the green checkmark. :(

Looks like the PR that fixed this issue has been overwritten. I'm making a new PR for this now.
