    Hi

    I'm having problems with JSTL and swapping accented foreign vowels for just the vowels without any accent. An example is below. 
    <c:set var="link" value="${fn:replace(link,'&#233;','e')}" />

    I want to replace all the accents or some browsers will not recognise the é and the link won't work, but this doesn't seem to be working for me. I have searched the internet and found no answer so if anyone has tried and succeeded in doing this and they would like to impart some wisdom I would be very grateful :)

    Thanks

    You try using the unicode escape sequence for é in the string? I know in java code you can specify String s="\u00e9"; to represent é. Maybe it will work in the fn:replace function.
