It's called CamelCase. Take a look at wikipedia for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CamelCase
Javascript method syntax - correct term for lowerUpper formatting
-

Question
CSS uses hyphens to separate words:
.class_name{background-color:#000;}
Javascript uses lowerUpper formatting:
document.getElementById("my_div").style.backgroundColor
But what is the lowerUpper formatting syntax called?
I read it somewhere, in the context of "remember to _ the style property because javascript doesn't use hyphens".
Thanks

OTHER TIPS
I follow Douglas Crockford's code conventions for javascript. I also use his JSLint tool to validate following those conventions.
JSLint can be too radical and restrictive for many developers, then JSHint can be better choice.
There is also the Online Javascript Beautifier which seems to use all the Douglas Crockford conventions to format the code. It does not address the naming of variables and functions though.
