[xsl] How to Process when Row data could be either elements or attributes

[Imrran Wahid <devguy2003@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have come upon another stumper and once again I hope
one of the more experienced minds can help as you have
done in the past.

I am creating tables from an xml that could have the
column data in the rows represented either as elements
or as attributes. I have solved the problem when the
data is in elements. Now I want so that it handles the
data when it is in attributes. I do not want to use
separate stylesheets. So I tried to incorporate the
solution to the second part into the working solution
to the first part.

eg. of xml to transform - row data in elements:

<fruits>
  <oranges>
    <orange>
      <type>navel</type>
      <origin>Uruguay</origin>
    </orange>
    <orange>
      <type>temple</type>
      <origin>Brazil</origin>
    </orange>
  </oranges>
  <apples>...
  <apples>
</fruits>

eg of xml to transform - row data in attributes:

<fruits>
  <oranges>
    <orange type="navel" origin="Uruguay"/>
    <orange type="temple" origin="Brazil"/>
  </oranges>
  <apples>...
  <apples>
</fruits>

The templates I used to transform when the row data is
in elements are:

<xsl:template match="//Fruits/*[count(./*) &gt; 0]"
mode="regularTable">
    <table>
      <tr>
        <!-- this is the row with the col headings -->
        <xsl:for-each select="./*[1]/*">
          <th><xsl:value-of select="name(.)"/></th>
        </xsl:for-each>
     </tr>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/></table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="//Fruits/*[count(./*) &gt; 0]/*">
  <tr>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
  </tr>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*">
  <td>
    <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(text())"/>
  </td>
</xsl:template>

How do I modify these to transform when the row data
is in attributes?

I was only able to get the column headings to
transform properly by making a
change(select="./*[1]/*|./*[1]/@*") in the template as
shown below:

<xsl:template match="//Fruits/*[count(./*) &gt; 0]"
mode="regularTable">
    <table>
      <tr>
        <!-- this is the row with the col headings -->
        <xsl:for-each select="./*[1]/*|./*[1]/@*">
          <th><xsl:value-of select="name(.)"/></th>
        </xsl:for-each>
     </tr>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/></table>
</xsl:template>

I could not get the cell data to populate...whatever i
try doesn't seem to work for me.

Appreciate any help.
Thanks
