title: replacing several characters using javascript replace
body: <p>I want to replace all the occurrences of accented characters À, Á, Â, Ã, Ä, Å with "A" using javascript replace ( For example, "ÀNÁPIÂLÃZÄ" would be rendered to "ANAPIALAZA").
  I tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var re = /À||Á||À||Á||Â||Ã||Ä||Å/g; 
  name =  name.replace(re,"A");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <pre><code>var  re = /(ÀÁÂÃÄÅ)/g;
  name =  name.replace(re,"A");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I not sure how to express the desired rule in regex pattern.
  Thanks</p>
