I’m trying to use slickgrid to display a result set from a Rails  
controller action. It seems like there’s a JSON bug in the way. It’s  
easy enough to get the “simple” slickgrid working with Rails, but  
everything falls apart when I try to pull data from the controller.  
How should I be going about this? Should I just put this on hold until  
the JSON stuff is sorted out?
