Problem
You want to use flexigrid with a MySQL fields that contains carriage returns. As the flexigrid uses json it doesn’t work with carriage returns, and displays an empty page, instead of an error page.

Solution
In the page_name.json.erb file in the fields that has carriage returns make sure that you use to_json method as in the example below:

‘<%=fg_escape event.comments.to_json -%>‘,
