Subject: build 3x3 table from one array

I am new to ruby and still haven't got my mind around iterators although 
I think they are really cool.

I am stuck trying to figure out how to take an array of data and 
dynamically build a 3x3 html table from it without standard for loops.

Here is the code in JavaScript:

var MAX_ROW = 3;
var MAX_COL = 3;
var nIdx = 0;

print("<table>");
for (var r = 0; nIdx < aList.length && r < MAX_ROW; r++)
{
	print("<tr>");
	for (var c = 0; nIdx < aList.length && c < MAX_COL; c++)
	{
		print("<td>");

		print(aList[nIdx].name);
		nIdx++;

		print("</td>");
	}	// cols
	print("</tr>");
}	// rows
print("</table>");


Can someone point me in the right direction for how to do this. I found 
each_index but still was at a loss.

Thanks for the help.
