Formatting function

[CK]

Is there an easy javascript function that takes a string and returns a
properly formatted string?

Like "john smith" would be "John Smith".

Any ideas? In vbScript there is a vbProperCase constant used with their
formatting function. Is there something simliar in javascript?

Thanks to everyone who replies,
Chris

I don't think Peter O'Malley or John deGaulle would agree with that
correction.

Let users enter it the way they want and then let them suffer any and
all consequences.
