Try it without any html tags in the description. If it loads the events
with that, then try with the html escaped.
For instance, try:
<event start="January 11 2008" title="complaint filed">
Some text.
</event>
If that works, then try:
<event start="January 11 2008" title="complaint filed">
<br/><a href='#' onclick='editEvent(9)'>Edit</a> | <a
href='/timeline/
6/delete_event/9' onclick="return confirm('Are you sure? It'll be gone
for good.');">Delete</a>
</event>
