Formatting name text to Last name uppercase and first name lower case

I have a form that has a single name field: "LAST NAME, First name" in the same field. I copy and paste the name in from other source but it comes in all different formatting, sometimes all lower case sometimes in all upper case. Is it possible to have a script that changes the formatting to last name all upper case e.g (SMITH) and first name normal e.g (John) with the comma in between as above? e.g  Name:  SMITH, John.

I have been looking for the right script to use for this for so long.

Try this code:

 

if (event.value) {
	var parts = event.value.split(", ");
	if (parts.length==2) {
		event.value = parts[0].toUpperCase() + ", " + parts[1].charAt(0).toUpperCase() + parts[1].substr(1).toLowerCase();
	}
}

Are you talking about changing the name of the field, or changing its value?

If the latter, are you talking about changing the actual value, or just how it is presented on the page (its formatting)?
