You don't want to use puts in there. You want to return the value so it gets evaluated in the erb code. puts returns nil, which means you get nothing inside the html element.

I'm not exactly sure from that method what you want inside div2 either.

Here's what I'd suggest:

def get_array()
# sqlite stuff as you have it
format_table(result)
end

def format_table(data)
out = "<table>\n"
out += data.map do |row|
format_row(row)
end.join("\n")
out += "\n</table>\n"
end

def format_row(row)
out = "<tr>"
out += row.map do |cell|
format_cell(cell)
end.join
out += "</tr>"
end

def format_cell(cell)
"<td>#{cell}</td>"
end

This will output html code, which seems like what you'd want at that point.
