<xsl:if test="*[contains(@class, 'menublock-selected-')]">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:if>

Just tested it with Saxon 8.3.

Subject
 Selecting only those nodes whos attibutes contain a given substring






I am having to write some XSLT that needs to decide if it needs to 
recurse into the contents of the current mode. Basically I am at a node 
and I only want to recurse into it if at least one of the child nodes 
has an attribute called "class" who's value contains the sub string 
"menublock-selected-". Otherwise I am going to skip this node.

The XML is part of an open source project so there is little chance of 
patching it up.

Any ideas?
