I think you should access the two columns of return values individually, 
like:

<span tal:replace='string:"${array_elt/id}|${array_elt/name}"' />

assuming the names of your two columns are id and name.

By the way, the <tal> tag will not be executed within <script> tags. So 
you may have to use python script to generate your javascript code.
