I always use uppercase on functions and methods, and lowercase on variables. I think I get this from an old C or C++ language convention. However, I have never seen any javascript that does anything but lowercase for the first letter of method names and of course js is case sensitive so it matters. Programming for the web, I'd guess that was a good convention to stick with - I just can't kick my old habits ;)
