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')"/>
These two will be the same once XSLT gets to see...

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

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