You were close to the problem with the commented out alert. When you
have only one row, you do not have an array of names, but a single
value. Perhaps there is some way of forcing a one element array of
names, but I do not know it. I added some special case code for the one
element array.
Minor changes:
- doctype
- title
- type="text/javascript" instead of the depreciated language attribute
- no need to hide javascript for Netscape release 1.
I tested this script in Netscape 7.1.
