paulopmx - thanks for the response. Although my main problem was that nothing was showing up in firebug to trace anything. So, no errors were occurring.
However, I was able to find the root of the problem. This is just for anyone else who would want to know - the problem was with prototype. I had a prototype library being loaded. I did have the jquery noConflict mode on but for some reason, it still did not want to cooperate with Flexigrid. If anyone knows a way to have prototype and Flexigrid working together, that would be great.
For now, I have just removed the prototype reference and have been working around it.
