Use regexp and global:

str.replace(/Ő/g,'ö')

Use regular expressions

str = str
   .replace(/Ő/g,'ö')
   .replace(/Ű/g,'Ü')
   .replace(/ő/g,'ö')
   .replace(/ű/g,'ü')

You can either use regex (as provider by Claudio Redi) or use global flag 'g':

str.replace("Ő", "ö", "g")
str.replace("Ű", "Ü", "g")
str.replace("ő", "ö", "g")
str.replace("ű", "ü", "g")

I personally prefer regex. Takes some time to learn them, but it is worth it.

I agree, regex is definitely worth taking the time to learn :-) – Mike C Jul 24 '13 at 14:07
