Content area is blank in Edit Page and Edit Entry screen

Vote 0 Votes

Hi,

We are having a strange problem with content not showing up in the Body tab of the Edit Page and Edit Entry screen. Content has been created but after clicking on a link in the manage entries/pages list to edit a page or entry the content is not visible in the body or extended field. Also, can't insert cursor into edit area either.

Has anyone had this problem? Any suggestions for a way to remedy this?

MT4.35, FireFox 3.6, Chrome 8, and Safari

Many Thanks,
David

  • Check for JavaScript errors on the entry page. There's an issue with Movable Type where if you don't access it from the exact URL specified in the mt-config file, JavaScript errors are raised by the browser's security mechanism in its JavaScript interpreter.

    For example, if you have http://www.domain.com/ specified in CGIPath and StaticWebPath and access it from http://domain.com/, you'll run into this (or a similar issue).

  • That was it Mike. Thanks so much for helping me out with this. Have a great day. -ds

  • I'm having the same problem, but adding the www didn't fix it. Sorry, it's been a long time since I've used MT... any other possibilities?

  • SO... I eventually "fixed" this by signing in as a different user. Also an admin. I didn't change anything else. What in god's name could be causing this? Pretty major bug if you ask me!

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
