Render XML structure using XSLT

Hi,
I'm trying to render a XML structure to HTML using XSLT.
My XML describe the header of a table with a complex and not linear
structure.
The first row of the header table always contains the ServiceName
(attribute name), under I have to show all the other fields with
correct structure.
Can you help me to write XSLT document?

My XML doc:
*************** *************** *************** *************** *************** ***
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<data>
<Service depth="6" name="service1" totalDepth="2">
<Field depth="0" name="1.1"/>
<Field depth="0" name="1.2"/>
<Field depth="0" name="1.3"/>
<Field depth="0" name="1.4"/>
<Field depth="0" name="1.5"/>
<Field depth="0" name="1.6"/>
</Service>
<Service depth="8" name="service2" totalDepth="4">
<Field depth="4" name="2.1">
<Field depth="4" name="2.1.1">
<Field depth="0" name="2.1.1.1"/>
<Field depth="0" name="2.1.1.2"/>
<Field depth="0" name="2.1.1.3"/>
<Field depth="0" name="2.1.1.4"/>
</Field>
<Field depth="4" name="2.1.2">
<Field depth="0" name="2.1.2.1"/>
<Field depth="0" name="2.1.2.2"/>
<Field depth="0" name="2.1.2.3."/>
<Field depth="0" name="2.1.2.4"/>
</Field>
<Field depth="4" name="2.1.3.">
<Field depth="0" name="2.1.3.1"/>
<Field depth="0" name="2.1.3.2"/>
<Field depth="0" name="2.1.3.3"/>
<Field depth="0" name="2.1.2.4"/>
</Field>
<Field depth="4" name="2.1.4">
<Field depth="0" name="2.1.4.1"/>
<Field depth="0" name="2.1.4.2"/>
<Field depth="0" name="2.1.4.3"/>
<Field depth="0" name="2.1.4.4"/>
</Field>
</Field>
<Field depth="4" name="2.2">
<Field depth="0" name="2.2.1"/>
<Field depth="0" name="2.2.2"/>
<Field depth="0" name="2.2.3"/>
<Field depth="0" name="2.2.4"/>
</Field>
</Service>
</data>

This is what I want to obtain:
*************** *************** *************** *************** *************** ***
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>My Doc</title>

<td colspan="20">se rvice2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="3">1.1 </td>
<td rowspan="3">1.2 </td>
<td rowspan="3">1.3 </td>
<td rowspan="3">1.4 </td>
<td rowspan="3">1.5 </td>
<td rowspan="3">1.6 </td>
<td colspan="16">2. 1</td>
<td colspan="4" rowspan="2">2.2 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="4">2.1 .1</td>
<td colspan="4">2.1 .2</td>
<td colspan="4">2.1 .3</td>
<td colspan="4">2.1 .4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2.1.1.1</td>
<td>2.1.1.2</td>
<td>2.1.1.3</td>
<td>2.1.1.4</td>
<td>2.1.2.1</td>
<td>2.1.2.2</td>
<td>2.1.2.3.</td>
<td>2.1.2.4</td>
<td>2.1.3.1</td>
<td>2.1.3.2</td>
<td>2.1.3.3</td>
<td>2.1.2.4</td>
<td>2.1.4.1</td>
<td>2.1.4.2</td>
<td>2.1.4.3</td>
<td>2.1.4.4</td>
<td>2.2.1</td>
<td>2.2.2</td>
<td>2.2.3</td>
<td>2.2.4</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Great, but I have other a problem: if I add this following service, the
xslt doesn't work well
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Service name="service3" depth="2" totalDepth="3">
<Field name="3.1" depth="2">
<Field name="3.1.1" depth="0"/>
<Field name="3.1.2" depth="0"/>
</Field>
<Field name="3.2" depth="2">
<Field name="3.2.1" depth="0"/>
<Field name="3.2.2" depth="0"/>
</Field>
</Service>

My XML document has a dynamic structure with unlimited number of
Service node, Field node and Field subnode.
The xslt document work only on a fix structure with maximum 3 level of
Field node.
XML dcoument has 2 different attribute:
- depth: is the number of child (without subnode) for the selected node
(i.e. "service3" has 2 child: "3.1" and "3.2")
- totalDepth: is the maximum deep of Service node. "service3" as
totalDepth="3": Service node + Field node + Field subnode

I think that these attributes can help you.
