was replace available in XSLT1.0?  I think he must be using 2

Which XSLT version are you using?
Maybe you could post a full but minimal (almost-) working example so that
we can better see what’s going on.
Your third example should work with XPath 2.

I have to escape several characters, one of which is an apostrophe, in
strings that I am writing out to a DOJO script. I've tried everything I can
think of but can't get the apostrophe replace working.

Here's of few of the replaces I've tried: (note that all of the double
and single quotes are the regular keyboard characters - outlook has altered
them below)

<xsl:variable name="newString" select="replace(oldString, '(['])',
'XXX')"/>

<xsl:variable name="newString" select="replace(oldString, '&apos;',
'XXX')"/>

<xsl:variable name="newString" select="replace(oldString, '''', 'XXX')"/>

How can I get this to work?

For the examples
oldString = that specifies condition's to be evaluated

newString should be = that specifies conditionXXXs to be evaluated

Thanks,
