 * We noticed that our post editor was acting funky – either the visual or html 
   tabs wouldn’t work and the hyperlink button doesn’t work, so we followed [this tutorial](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors)
   and turned on script debugging and it solved the problem. I understand this isn’t
   a permanent solution, so would like advice on how to fix things permanently.

 * Well… I suppose the best fix would be to find the offending javascript and either
   update it to working status… or get rid of it completely.
 * You would first need to identify the source of the offending javascript. You 
   can use your web browsers debug console (if available) to identify if errors 
   are present.
 * My first step would be to temporarily deactivate ALL of my plugins… and MANUALLY
   empty my browser cache. Then, I would reload the post editor again… and see if
   the issue persists.
 * Post your info back here… and someone can help you with how to proceed from there
   🙂

 * Thanks. I am getting this error:
 * TypeError: switchEditors is undefined
 * From what I’m seeing on Google searches, this is a jquery issue after the 3.5.1
   update? We have tried deactivating all plugins and clearing the cache – no change.

 * If it is honestly not any of the plugins… then the only other thing can be the
   theme.
 * Try switching your theme to the default twentytwelve theme.. manually empty your
   browser cache again.. and try it again.

 * I was doubtful it could be the theme since this theme has been active for about
   a year and a half. But, I tried it anyway – switching to twentytwelve and clearing
   my cache – no change. :/

 * Hmmm…
 * Okay.. with all these deactivated… try opening the admin panel in a different
   browser.
 * Anything different?

 * Okay, this is odd. It just started working. All plugins and the same theme are
   activated. Odd. Thanks for your help anyway!

 * No worries.
 * I watched your site VERY closely this time.. to make sure you honestly deactivated
   all the plugins and the theme 😉
 * Thank you for doing that.
 * So… perhaps it was the cache struggling to hold on a little longer 😉
 * Either way… glad it’s working for you!!
