Capitalize the first letter of every word

Question

I want to use a javascript function to capitalize the first letter of every word

eg:

THIS IS A TEST ---> This Is A Test
this is a TEST ---> Th         


        

Answer 1

This will capitalize every word seperated by a space or a dash

function capitalize(str){
    str = str.toLowerCase();
    return str.replace(/([^ -])([^ -]*)/gi,function(v,v1,v2){ return v1.toUpperCase()+v2; });
}

Examples :

• i lOvE oRanges => I Love Oranges
• a strAnge-looKing syntax => A Strange-Looking Syntax

etc
