Just for the record… I’m using IE7 and it creates an error message that reads:
Line: 176
Char: 290
Error: Access denied
Code: 0
This is followed by my URL that ends in wordpress/wp-admin/post-new.php
Also for the record: the WordPress community is great and I’m really glad I found it! I’m convinced the problem is with IE7. It’s notorious for messing things up.
I’ve had the same problem this week. I can’t type in the Post field if I go there directly through the wordpress/wp-login.php. of my website. As a workaround, I go to my latest blog post, hit the “Edit” function, then go to the “Write” tab on the Dashboard. Works every time!
