I think you should spilt the setAttribute like:

a.setAttribute('href', 'http://www.facebook.com/');

a.setAttribute('target', '_blank');

According to the docs it takes only two parameters.

The setAttribute method accept only 2 parameters

name is the name of the attribute as a string.
value is the desired new value of the attribute.

   var a = document.createElement('a');
   a.appendChild(document.createTextNode(contacts[i][j]));
   a.setAttribute('href', 'http://www.facebook.com/');
   a.setAttribute('target', '_blank');
   td.appendChild(a);
