How to output Multi-Dimensional array value

I am trying to display a multi-dimensional array in javascript. Could someone help me about my code? Thanks.

for (var i=0;i<array.length;i++){

    for (var a=0;a<array[i].length;a++){

       //document.write(array[0][0])    //this will have output
       document.write(array[i][a])      //this won't.

    }

}

updated:

my array

The array was created from php then use json_encode to parse to JS.

I usually use for each for an array, in js you can do like this

var array = [];
array[0] = ['foo', 'bar'];
array[1] = ['baz'];
for (i in array){
    for (j in array[i]){
       document.write(array[i][j])      //this won't.
    }
}

Someone said this is not safe but it still work :D

Try this 

function writeMultiArrayToConsole(arr)
{
var console = document.getElementById('mydiv');
var msg = '';
for(var i=0;i<arr.length;i++)
{
    for(var j=0;j<arr[0].length;j++)
        msg += arr[i][j];
    msg += '<br />';
}
console.innerHTML = msg;
}

Code works fine, your array must be invalid.

This works fine for me, used array = [[1,2],[3,4]]; as a test array, output: 1234. what do you get when you do document.write(JSON.parse(array)); or console.log(array);?
