    Hello there and thanks for this super handy plugin!

    I wanted to ask 2 quick questions.

    A) Would it be possible for this plugin to also make the following replacements:

    ?ι to Α?
    ?ι to Ε?
    ?ι to Ο?
    ?υ to Α?
    ?υ to Ε?
    ?υ to Ο?

    B) Is there any way to reduce the delay till this plugin takes effect? Currently the accents are visible till the page fully loads.

  • For the first part: If you don’t mind doing some beta testing, you can replace the file /js/jquery.remove-uppercase-accents.js in the plugin’s folder with the one I am attaching here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38634/Various/jquery.remove-upcase-accents.js?dl=1

    It should do what you want but it’s still untested, so I would appreciate your feedback.

    On that note, I suggest that you keep a backup of the original file, in case you want to restore it.

    Regarding B) – I am afraid that I can’t do anything about the delay. The plugin “reads” the contents of the page and when it finds text transformed via CSS it fixes it. Therefore, in order to work it needs to wait until the page is fully loaded.

    Woah, thanks for the quick response!

    This is the test words I used: Αυλ?? ?υλο? αυλ?? ?υλο? Α?ρα? Ωρα?ο Μα?ου Μ?ιο? ? ? πο?ρο

    Ok, I tested the file and it works. It was missing ?υ to Α? but I went ahead and added it myself. Also, I’m guessing it will also need versions for first letter being capital, eg ?υ in addition to ?υ and ?Υ.

    Across different browsers now, my Chrome seems to have its own fix for this which overides this plugin and simply flat out removes all accents and diaereses. So, assuming that’s true, that’s a big chunk of users who will never see this plugin’s effect.

    Firefox also has it’s own fix that happens instantly, but still seems to allow the plug in to work in the end.

    Internet Explorer has no fix and as it’s been mentioned, accents show till the page finishes loading. I was pretty sure you can’t get around the delay, but thought there’s no harm in asking!

    Is there any chance that you use some Chrome extension that affects the page’s appearance? In my case, Chrome behaves exactly like IE in that matter and the only browser that automatically fixes the issue is Firefox.

    I’ve added the changes mentioned above to the latest update of the plugin.

    Thank you for your feedback!

    Hey! Sorry, I could’ve sworn I responded. It’s possible some chrome extention might be affecting it, unfortunately I haven’t gotten around to testing it.

    Thanks a lot for the update though!
