Although this is an old question, this is a problem I face frequently. I therefore wrote a tutorial on how to solve it. It's located here: http://nicoschuele.com/Posts/75.html

The short answer is this: first, you need to treat all the diacritical characters within a function and then, using a dictionnary you build, you need to process all the language specific letters. For example, "à" is a diacritical character and "Ø" is a norwegian letter. My tutorial uses .NET to achieve this but the principle, even in javascript, is the same.
