How to get rid of diacriticial marks (~ from ñ, ' from á and é)?

I want to convert diacritical characters (ñ, á, é, ...) to plain characters . I would prefer a simple开发者_开发问答 regexp solution (as in: an oneliner) in JavaScript or jQuery.

Here you have a javascript solution

Hope this helps.

You can do it in php like this:

$normalized = iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', $string);

For example, it will convert ñáé to nae

Hope this helps. Cheers
