xml - How to compare the value of the current for-each element? -

xml:

<a>1</a> <a>2</a> <b>3</b> <a>4</a> <b>5</b>

desired output:

value value value b value     value b

xslt:

<xsl:for-each select="a | b">   <xsl:if test="? = 'a'">      value   </xsl:if>   <xsl:if test="? = 'b'">     value b   </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each>

how compare value of current element in line <xsl:if test="? = 'a'"> , <xsl:if test="? = 'b'">?

you need name(), strange way of going it. posted, want output names of nodes. in case:

<xsl:apply-templates select='a|b' />  <xsl:template match='a|b'>     value <xsl:value-of select='name()' /> </xsl:template>
