Coldfusion CFGRID started showing as empty

Question

I have a CMS that has been working without any issue until yesterday when the team reported that the pages are coming up empty, I tested it and it was fine for a while and then I suddently started having the same problem. Tried different browsers, etc. but no difference. Here is the code

<cfform>
    <cfgrid name="pageList" format="html" selectcolor="##669999" query="rsPages" striperows="yes" href="pageEdit.cfm">
    <cfgridcolumn name="pageID" display="no">
    <cfgridcolumn name="pageCountryID" header="Country" width="75">
    <cfgridcolumn name="pageLanguageID" header="Language" width="85">
    <cfgridcolumn name="pageName" header="Page Name" width="125">
    <cfgridcolumn name="pageTitle" header="HTML Title" width="590">
    </cfgrid>
</cfform>

rsPages is defined previously.

If I display the data in a table it's fine, so this is an issue specifically with the CFGRID function. All supporting assets are present, i.e. JS and CSS files.

Assuming that, you are using the latest version of ColdFusion(CF 11), I tried with querysetcell and your cfgrid code. The below code works in all browsers.

<cfset rsPages = querynew("pageID, pageCountryID, pageLanguageID, pageName, pageTitle")>
<cfset queryaddrow(rsPages, 3)>

<cfset querysetcell(rsPages,"pageCountryID","Country1",1)>
<cfset querysetcell(rsPages,"pageLanguageID","Language1",1)>
<cfset querysetcell(rsPages,"pageName","Page1",1)>
<cfset querysetcell(rsPages,"pageTitle","Title1",1)>

<cfset querysetcell(rsPages,"pageCountryID","Country2",2)>
<cfset querysetcell(rsPages,"pageLanguageID","Language2",2)>
<cfset querysetcell(rsPages,"pageName","Page2",2)>
<cfset querysetcell(rsPages,"pageTitle","Title2",2)>

<cfset querysetcell(rsPages,"pageCountryID","Country3",3)>
<cfset querysetcell(rsPages,"pageLanguageID","Language3",3)>
<cfset querysetcell(rsPages,"pageName","Page3",3)>
<cfset querysetcell(rsPages,"pageTitle","Title3",3)>

<cfform>
    <cfgrid name="pageList" format="html" selectcolor="##669999" query="rsPages" striperows="yes" href="pageEdit.cfm">
    <cfgridcolumn name="pageID" display="no"> 
    <cfgridcolumn name="pageCountryID" header="Country" width="75">
    <cfgridcolumn name="pageLanguageID" header="Language" width="85">
    <cfgridcolumn name="pageName" header="Page Name" width="125">
    <cfgridcolumn name="pageTitle" header="HTML Title" width="590">
    </cfgrid>
</cfform>

If the above code fails for you, then, most probably, there could be a JS or CSS error. Try enabling browser debugger to find the root cause.

Solved by converting the cfgrid to cftable, didn't have time to find the reason the cfgrid wasn't working.
