# Cannot edit saved/draft posts

 * Hi-
 * I recently upgraded WP to version 2.1. It had been working fine. As of this morning,
   I can begin writing a post, but as soon as WP autosaves the post, I am no longer
   able to access the “body” field of the post to continue writing.
 * Please note the following:
 * 1. I experience this error both in Firefix and IE 7;
    2. The browser gives me
   an error (lower left corner) which indicates: that access is denied from Line
   173, Character 290; and 3. I have already tried re-uploading wp-admin/post-new.
   php, but still receive the error.
 * This error has been reported at the wordpress.com forums at [http://wordpress.com/forums/topic.php?id=6162](http://wordpress.com/forums/topic.php?id=6162).
   The advice provided there was “It sounds like this will require staff assistance
   to rectify so please send in a feedback with a link back to this thread.”
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

 * Note: I have also upgraded a second blog to v. 2.1. At the moment, that blog 
   is not experiencing the same issue and I am accessing them both from the same
   PC and browser.

 * This is a problem that is associated with the domain of the URL. I’m not sure
   of the details yet, but it’s to do with the browser’s security rules on cross-
   domain access. Try adding or removing the “www.” subdomain if you have one. IE7
   and Firefox will be told to use a specified domain somewhere in that JS which
   doesn’t match the domain in the URL to your post-new.php page.
