I have a production xsl file that I need to edit to change the selection
behavior on one of the fields. The user can search on a grade like "17" and
the xsl returns all nodes with grades = 17. What I need is for the xsl to
return all the "17" and "17*" grades when 17 is entered by the user.

The current code is like

<xsl:for-each select="class[grade=$grade]">

Use:

class[starts-with(grade, $grade)]
