Hello
I would like to know, is any easy way to getname of the XML tag and
value of the XML tag inside a <xsl:foreach> loop.

Thanks in advance

XSLT uses XPath so check out an XPath reference for functions and you
will find functions like
local-name()
name()
namespace-uri()
to get the name or parts of it.
As for the value in terms of XSLT
<xsl:value-of select="." />
gives you what XSLT understands to be the value.
Or specify exactly what you understand to be the "value of an XML tag",
it is not clear what you are looking for.

I am having an XML fragment like this

<data-items>
<element-name1>value 1</element-name1>
<element-name2>value 2</element-name2>
</data-items>

My requirement is given below

<forloop condition data-items/*>

// some function to get element-name1 and its value( value1),......
dynamically

</forloop>
I tried the function which you mentioned, but i think it work well with
node name not the element name.

Use the functions/elements I suggested
<xsl:for-each select="data-items/*">
<div>
name is: <xsl:value-of select="name()" />
value is: <xsl:value-of select="." />
</div>
</xsl:for-each>
