I like this one
replace($input, '[^a-z0-9]+', '-', 'i')
more generl and avoids the problem all together ;-)
what does that 'i' and the end do? I thought replace only had 3
parameters.
I wasn't able to get any of the quote options in the replace to work,
not sure what I'm doing wrong there, so this one gets the job done.

you could use translate() twice here of course.
translate($input, ' ', '_')
often i use replace($input, '[^a-z0-9]+', '-', 'i')
for generating IDs (and then fix them up to be unique), since e.g.
allowing % or < or > or & can also cause interesting problems :)
select="translate($inputString,
'', '')" />
\xA0\xA0\xA0\xA0 <xsl:value-of select="$outputString" />
Your problem here is after the XML parser converts ' to ' the
XPath processor sees,
translate($inputstring, '', '')
which is not what you want at all.
select="translate($inputString, "'", '')
will turn into
translate($inputString, "'", '')
which is what i think you want.
