 Please try this XSL..
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" />
<xsl:template match="/xml">
<html>
<head>
<title/>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<xsl:for-each
select="List/Entry/Department[not(. =
preceding::Department)]">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="." /></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This is tested with IE 6 , and Saxon 6.5.3 .

Mukul
