Display Names Listed In Array?

i was wondering how you would go about displaying an array of names without hard coding them in the .htm file? example: i have a array of names and the way i list them is to hard code each table entry. what i want to do is have the same array of names, but use javascript to display the names without hard coding it. i want to list 9 columns and have it go until the last name is listed.

i have: function initalize()
{
this.length = initalize.arguments.length;
for ( var i = 0; i < this.length; i++ ) this[ i + 1 ] = initalize.arguments[ i ];
}
var familynames = new initalize('list of names here');

[Code]...
