Greetings,



I have been having problems today with one of my MCMS servers whenever I try
to switch from "live mode" to "edit mode".  After logging in to my content
authoring server, clicking on the "Switch to Edit Site" link on the default
console returns an "object expected" error.  When I do this from a
workstation with Visual Studio installed and I have the option of debugging
I can dig further and determine that the source of the error is the
following block of code:



<A id="SwitchToPresentationUnpublishedAnchor" href="#"
onclick="CMS_preparePostbackUrl('/NR/exeres/5944036D-0716-4645-A613-13BA64E9
41C1,frameless.htm?NRMODE=Unpublished&WBCMODE=PresentationUnpublished&wbc_pu
 rpose=Basic');__doPostBack('DefaultConso
lePortalHomepage$Console1$Presentati
 onPublishedModeContainer1$SwitchToPresen
tationUnpublishedAction1','');return
false" target=_self>
Switch To Edit Site
</A>



To further complicate matters, I do NOT get this error if I perform these
steps from the content authoring server itself.  I recently did an update of
the underlying aspx template files and the web application from my
development server, but everything is working fine on that server.  Does
anyone know WHAT this message means, WHAT "object" is the webpage expecting
and HOW I can get passed it?



Thanks,

Matt Delfs

I'm having a similar problem:
Here's the standard fix which seems to help most people (page will load then
wait a while, and it will move to article)

This happens for me intermittently, if I view source, good pages show:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"  ...
src="/MyCMSApp/CMS/WebAuthor/Client/CommonClient.js"></script>
src="/EFISalesPortal/CMS/WebAuthor/Client/Windows.js"></script>
src="/EFISalesPortal/CMS/WebAuthor/Client/Console.js"></script>
src="/EFISalesPortal/CMS/WebAuthor/Client/OptionsClient.js"></script>
src="/EFISalesPortal/CMS/WebAuthor/Client/JavaScriptUIStrings.js"></script>
src="/EFISalesPortal/CMS/WebAuthor/Client/Dates.js"></script>
src="/EFISalesPortal/CMS/WebAuthor/Client/AuthFormClient.js"></script>

But then I go to an ASP.NET, non-posting, or non-channel page, I go back to
a posting and BOOM! these lines DO NOT appear in my "view source" and I get
the same error.  Help?

I hope your problem is easily fixed!
