Eliminate a space after "Kirk". When I did that, the page loaded without errors. Nothing displayed, but that's another issue. ;)

Did you lose your original thread (http://forums.webdeveloper.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17039)?

Anyway, make sure the new Array() line is all on one line, and it should work fine.
