Capiataloze Words - not working in IE

I ma using teh following to capitalize letters in words, works great except in ie, in ie the divider is not retained,

so in ie sean micheal becomes Seanmicheal

function capitalizeMe(objFormField) {
var arrWords=objFormField.value.toLowerCase().split(/(\s+|\-|\.|\')/);
for(i=0;i<arrWords.length;i++){
arrWords[i]=arrWords[i].substr(0,1).toUpperCase()+arrWords[i].substr(1)
}
objFormField.value = arrWords.join('');
}

why dont you try:

<script type="text/javascript">
function capWords() {
var inputString = document.form1.instring; // The input text field
var outputString = document.form1.outstring; // The output text field
var tmpStr, tmpChar, preString, postString, strlen;
tmpStr = inputString.value.toLowerCase();
stringLen = tmpStr.length;
if (stringLen > 0)
{
  for (i = 0; i < stringLen; i++)
  {
    if (i == 0)
	{
      tmpChar = tmpStr.substring(0,1).toUpperCase();
      postString = tmpStr.substring(1,stringLen);
      tmpStr = tmpChar + postString;
    }
    else
	{
      tmpChar = tmpStr.substring(i,i+1);
      if (tmpChar == " " && i < (stringLen-1))
	  {
      tmpChar = tmpStr.substring(i+1,i+2).toUpperCase();
      preString = tmpStr.substring(0,i+1);
      postString = tmpStr.substring(i+2,stringLen);
      tmpStr = preString + tmpChar + postString;
      }
    }
  }
}
outputString.value = tmpStr;
}
</script>
<body id="doc">
	<form name="form1" method="post">
<input name="instring" type="text" value="this is the text string" size="30">
<input type="button" name="Capitalize" value="Capitalize >>" onClick="capWords();">
<input name="outstring" type="text" value="" size="30">
</form>
</body>
