Something like this should help:

<xsl:stylesheet ...>
<xsl:key name="brand" match="Brand" use="."/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="//Brand[generate-id() = generate-id(key('brand', .)[1])]">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>,
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I am tring to make a navigation menu where someone can select a Brand Name and see a list of all the products with that brand.

When I use the 'for-each'...'value-of' commands it will have duplicate listings because of the muliple instances of the brand name in the xml file.

For example:
The list will look like
BrandA
BrandA
BrandA
BrandB
BrandB

instead of
BrandA
BrandB

is there a simple 'if' command of another way to eliminate the duplicate listings on the navigation menu.

Thank you very much for your interest in helping me.

Attached is a sample of the xml file if it helps.

ProductData.xml
Product Information XML file

It worked perfectly.
Thank you very much for the fast response. I cannot thank you enough. I had been working on that for hours.
