Try this,
name(preceding-sibling::*[1][name()='a1'])
Good luck,

Subject: [xsl] Need test for preceding-sibling
Hi,
I have a structure like this:
<a1/>
<a2/>
<a1/>
<a2/>
<b/>
<c/>
<a2/>
<a1/>
<a2/>
I need to ensure that each <a2> has a preceding <a1>, although there may be
intervening tags. I know that
name(preceding-sibling::*[1]
gives me the name of the first preceding sibling, but how do I construct a
test that gives me only the first preceding <a1> or <a2> tag?
Thanks,
Dave
