I prefer to use an al-exec to get friendly names, such as:

<al-for expr="mylist" iter="line">
	<al-exec expr="name, title, company, etc = mylist.value()">
	<al-value expr="name">

If things are more complex I build an array of objects, and pull them
out as such:

<al-for expr="mylist" iter="line">
	<al-exec expr="person = mylist.value()">
	<al-value expr="person.name">

Not really up on JS and CSS to help here
