Capitalize words in title page until hyphen

This is the title of my page:

<title>john smith - Site and site - jobs</title>

I have to capitalize the title of the page until the first hifen (-). This is my code, but lost the second part and the first hyphen.

function toTitleCase(str){
    var str  = document.title;
    subTitle = str.split('-')[0];
    return str.substring(0,str.indexOf('-')).replace(/\w\S*/g, function(txt){
        return txt.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + txt.substring(1);
    });
}
document.title = toTitleCase(document.title);

This might help..

function ok()
{
  var str  = document.title;
  document.title=str.substring(0, str.indexOf('-')).toUpperCase()+str.substring(str.indexOf('-'),str.length);

}

Summarizing answers "best of" + my grain of salt :

String.prototype.capitalize = function () {
  return this.replace(/\b[a-z]/g, function ($0) { return $0.toUpperCase(); });
};

function capitalizeTitle()
{
  document.title = document.title.replace(/^[^\-]*/, function($0) {
    return $0.capitalize();
  });
}

capitalizeTitle();

This code will help you.

function toTitleCase(str) {
        subTitle = str.split('-')[0].capitalize();
        return subTitle + str.substring(subTitle.length);
    }

    String.prototype.capitalize = function () {
        return this.replace(/\w\S*/g, function (txt) { return txt.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + txt.substr(1).toLowerCase(); });
    }

Always good to throw in a nuclear REGEX route...

var str = "some words - are - here";
console.log("this is - a - string".replace(/^[^\-]*/, function($0) {
    return $0.replace(/\b[a-z]/g, function($0) { return $0.toUpperCase(); });
}));

Outputs:

"Some Words - are - here"

    str = str.split('-');
    str[0]=str[0].replace(/\w\S*/g, function(txt){return txt.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + txt.substr(1).toLowerCase();});
    return str.join("-");
    }
document.title = toTitleCase(document.title);
