You're right Syd. I was trying to find a SubSection that had such a child, not the child itself. Sorry for the confusion.

However, both your and Ken's suggestions don't seem to have made a difference. (I know for Ken's i'm finding the child element, which is not what i want.) 

 
 The changing of priority values doesn't seem to have changed anything.

I'll keep trying if anyone has any other suggestions!

Thanks,

Russ

Presuming your match= attributes say what you want (rather than the
prose that implies you want to match on the child of the

attributes on 'em:
 <xsl:template match="SubSection[@filter='filter1']" priority="4">
 <xsl:template match="SubSection[*[@filter='filter1']]" priority="3">
 <xsl:template match="SubSection" priority="2">

Not sure, but it's certainly worth a try.
