var cleantext = nametext.replace(/\s+/g, ' ').trim();
var cleanlink = x[i].href;
myarray.push([cleantext,cleanlink]);
};
function make_table() {
var table = '<table><thead><th>Name</th><th>Links</th></thead><tbody>';
for (var i=0; i<myarray.length; i++) {
table += '<tr><td>'+ myarray[i][0] + '</td><td>'+myarray[i][1]+'</td></tr>';
};
var w = window.open("");
w.document.write(table);
}
