[XSL] how could I know node attributes???

[jaloplo]

Hi,

I'm having a big problem cause I need to write attributes values
without knowing the name of these attributes. For example, my xml file
is like this:

<element id="1" name="pepe" field1="1"/>
<element id="2" name="pepe"/>
<element id="3" name="pepe" field1="a" field4="2"/>
<element id="4" name="pepe" field3="s" field4="r"/>

And I have to group these elements by 'name' attribute, and then write
all the field1 values, all the field2 values, all the field3 values,
etc., and I don't know how many fieldx values are.

The result file must be something like that:

Name | Observation
pepe | field1 1
pepe | field1 a
pepe | field3 s
pepe | field4 2
pepe | field4 r

How can I group nodes by attributes??? Or how can I know the attributes
of one node???

Thanks!!!!

<element id="1" name="pepe" field1="1"/>
<element id="2" name="pepe"/>
<element id="3" name="pepe" field1="a" field4="2"/>
<element id="4" name="pepe" field3="s" field4="r"/>

And I have to group these elements by 'name' attribute, and then write
all the field1 values, all the field2 values, all the field3 values,
etc., and I don't know how many fieldx values are.

The XPath
@*
selects all attribute nodes, the XPath
@*[starts-with(local-name(), 'field')]
selects all attribute nodes where the local name starts with the string
'field' (e.g. 'field1', 'field2', 'fieldsomething').
