You might want to use the join method in Jscript to populate your client side javascript. Use the join like this on an array called cars:

 Help with Code Tags 
 JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<%
     var sep = "','";
     var carlist = cars.join(sep);
%>
<%
     var sep = "','";
     var carlist = cars.join(sep);
%>

Note: Make sure that you include the appropriate quotes in the sep string. Its very difficult to illustrate here but you need a doublequote then singlequote then a comma then a single quote and then a double quote (with no spaces in between): "','"

Then take the list that was created and populate your clientside script. I will create the clientside javascript array called fooCars:

<script language="JavaScript">
     fooCars = new Array('<%=carlist%>');
</script>
<script language="JavaScript">
     fooCars = new Array('<%=carlist%>');
</script>
