IE issue w/ new post: “Your attempt to edit…” – publishing fails.

Hi,

I’ve read through a couple of other threads on here, describing how they’ve had issues with autosave on new posts.

Essentially, the problem lies with the javascript function autosave() in /wp-includes/js/autosave.js.
Internet Explorer 7 (and possibly other versions, haven’t tried) doesn’t seem to handle whatever’s being returned thru AJAX when the autosave runs.

Others have suggested disabling all plugins, commenting out stuff in /wp-admin/post-new.php and even doing define('AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL,600) in wp-config.php.
All of these suggestions above are utterly wrong, everyone should know better than to touch the WP core files like that.
I’ve tested them all, to no avail.
– Simply removing/commenting out the autosave.js script will throw errors when /wp-admin/js/post.js tries to call the autosave() (as text fields are being populated.)

Let me clarify one essential thing; This is only an issue with IE !.
That being said, I’m not even sure it has to do with WP code.
It might be that server responses/timeouts etc. could cause this, but that seems unlikely, as that would probably affect all browsers.

Does anybody have updated info on this issue, I know it’s been affecting a lot of ppl.

Thx.

PS: Tech/use info:

– WPMU running on dedicated server.
– Custom/unique themes for all blogs, no WP core files have been touched, except for wp-config.php (obviuosly).
– When saving a new post, I get the error “Your attempt to edit POST-TITLE failed. Please try again.” Only the post title were saved, the post is not published.
– If I go and edit the (initially failed) post, it publishes without errors at all.
– Just making sure it’s understood; It is only happening in IE (version 7 is the one I’m using). 🙂
