I don't think ascii covers this characters but get the ISO-Latin-1 code with
"é".charCodeAt()
"ä".charCodeAt()
You can use unicode escape sequences now to generate characters
"\u00E9"
"\u00E4"

Define an associative array which maps the character in unicode representation
to the symbolical html entity:

var jsUnicode2htmlEntity = new Object();
jsUnicode2htmlEntity["\u00E9"] = "é"
jsUnicode2htmlEntity["\u00E4"] = "ä"

As there a numerical (character code) entities in html it suffices to use

function htmlEntity (c) {
if (typeof c == "string")
c = c.charCodeAt();
return "&#" + c + ";";
}

where for example
htmlEntity ("\u00E9")
yields
é

if you just want to convert a javastring character represenation to an html
character representation.
