 * Hello,
 * I am having a problem that is driving me nuts. I quite often use the HTML source
   editor in WordPress. Well suddenly the HTML Source Editor comes up blank and 
   does not work. I can use the tab key and tab down to the upate button, however,
   clicking it does NOTHING.
 * Is anyone else experiencing this problem .. and if so have you found a fix?
 * WordPress Version: 2.02
    Browser: Firefox 1.5.0.3
 * Thanks in advance for any input recieved.
    Rob

 * I had that problem too. It’s probably a corruption of one of the files somewhere,
   though I don’t know which one. I managed to fix it by uploading all the WP files
   again. (Not reinstalling, just uploading all the files.)
