Accents in HTML5 datalist

Question

In the form, I have text input with a datalist. In the datalist, I emphasized terms that would not appear in my text input. For example: If I type "a", the terms with "ä" or "à" will not appear in the sentence ...

Would be best insensitive to accent

Has anyone encountered this problem already?

thank

One dirty way to do this is to do something like this:

var noAccent = str.normalize( "NFD" ).replace( /[\u0300-\u036f]/g, "" );
if (str !== str) {// Add a duplicate entry without the accent}
