The toUpperCase() method converts a string to uppercase letters. The toUpperCase() method does not change the original string.
File names must be all lowercase and may include underscores ( _ ) or dashes ( - ), but no additional punctuation. Follow the convention that your project uses.
According to the book "Javascript: the good parts", you should only capitalise the first character of the name of a function when you need to construct the object by "new" keyword.
camelCase is used by JavaScript itself, by jQuery, and other JavaScript libraries. Do not start names with a $ sign. It will put you in conflict with many JavaScript library names.
You can follow this Google JavaScript Style Guide
In general, use functionNamesLikeThis, variableNamesLikeThis, ClassNamesLikeThis, EnumNamesLikeThis, methodNamesLikeThis, and SYMBOLIC_CONSTANTS_LIKE_THIS.
The convention is that there is no convention. Do what you want, just be consistent. I suggest follow Java style and ignore whatever convention the library (dojo, Ext, YUI, $, etc) you happen to be using is following.
As recommended by Douglas Crockford:
"Constructor functions that must be used with the new prefix should start with a capital letter. JavaScript issues neither a compile-time warning nor a run-time warning if a required new is omitted. Bad things can happen if new is missing, so the capitalization convention is an important defense."
