How to recognize letters accented?

[triko]

Hi all guy... I have the next problem... In my code I need that program recognize the letters accented: à è ì ò ù, like a normal vowels and dont a consonant!! I have insert

<meta charset = "UTF-8" >

But nothing doesn't happen

Sadly enough you won't even get the price for "least information possible" ... there are problem descriptions that are worse

Nevertheless: Please show us your magic code that recognizes the accented letters as consonants. How else should we know? Even my crystal ball got a headache from this ...

The correct English is "Nothing doesn't never happen". = "Nothing happens".

I think he means that he has defined aeiou as vowels, and other letters as consonants, but now has run up against accented letters which he wants to treat as vowels.

<script type = "text/javascript">
var x=  "à á è";
if (/^[àèìòù]/.test(x)) {
alert ("String contains an accented character");
}
</script>

Ok, but have a problem, the program read the "à è ' ò ù" than a "?"... And then return is null because don't recognize letters accented!!!
It's for <meta> error??

Sorry, not a clue what you mean. You must express yourself in English more clearly.

But there was a typo in my script in Post #3 - should be

if (/[àèìòù]/.test(x)) {

^ means at the start of the string

Ok, so, I found the final problem. I do convert the letters accented: "à" "è" "é" "ì" "ò" "ù", to the normal letters aeiou!! Because my program read the letters accented with consonants and I don't would this!!!
Now is it more clear?

So you are using replace() to convert accented letters into their non-accented equivalents? But why do you not simply add the accented characters to your list of vowels?

Because I don't say, if accented letters is vowels or consonants

Accented characters which are vowels if unaccented are still vowels if they are accented. In any European language.
