If you don't mind a 3rd party solution:

require 'html/table'
include HTML

array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]

table = Table.new
table.push(Table::Row.new(array[0..2]))
table.push(Table::Row.new(array[3..5]))
table.push(Table::Row.new(array[6..9]))

puts table.html

<table>
   <tr>
      <td>1</td>
      <td>2</td>
      <td>3</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>4</td>
      <td>5</td>
      <td>6</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>7</td>
      <td>8</td>
      <td>9</td>
   </tr>
</table>

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.
