Capitalizing first letter of word

[Squishinator]

Is this possible in javascript? How do you do it?

/* You oughta be able to cut it out of this function-
it capitalizes a string, or each word in a string.
*/

String.prototype.capit= function(deep){
	var str= this.toLowerCase();
	var Rx= deep? /\b([a-z']+)\b/g: /\b([a-z]+)\b/;
	str= str.replace(Rx, function(w){
		return w.charAt(0).toUpperCase()+ w.substring(1);
	});
	return str;
}

var s="these are the times that try men's souls."
alert(s.capit()+'\n'+s.capit(true))

Another (slightly simpler) method or variation:-

var str = "jEAn-paul o'flaNAGan-macDONald is a good guy."
str = str.toLowerCase().replace(/\b[a-z]/g,function(w){return w.toUpperCase()});
alert(str);
