And if you want to NOT modify the core mootools sources, and uppercase
initial accented words as well... place this somewhere in your code...
1. String.implement({
2.
3. ucapitalize: function(){
4. return this
.replace(/(^|\s)[a-z\xC0-\xFF\u0100-\u024F\u1E00-\u1EFF]/g, function
(match){
5. return match.toUpperCase();
6. });
7. }
8.
9. });
And use it like:
>> "érase una vez en américa".ucapitalize();
<< "Érase Una Vez En América"
