Rich Text editor comes up with random error The Page took too long to save. You can click "Cancel", and then try to save the page again. If you click "OK", you might lose unsaved data.
I seem to get a random error when i open the rich text editor in a content editor web part and try to save the changes. The error i get is: Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? The page took too long to save. You can click "Cancel", and then try to save the page again. If you click "OK", you might lose unsaved data. Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page. If i click OK it seems to save the changes but this problem is very annoying and users are obviously worried when they see this error. Does anyone have any ideas what is causeing this error across the entire site? and are there any fixes? thanks for your time, Tony Phillips

I found a solution. It seems to be client side. It will only work with IE8 in compatability mode and you need to disable "Enable native XMLHTTP support" option in IE8. There seems to be no solution for other versions of IE. http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointdevelopment/thread/b6e45b08-e042-4c49-819d-2b326f61f7a7

This issue has been fixed in the April cumulative update of WSS/MOSS2007. Installing the latest WSS / MOSS2007 cumulative update will solve the issue (as updates are cumulative and contain all previous released updates). http://blogs.technet.com/b/fesiro/archive/2010/10/25/the-page-took-too-long-to-save-bij-het-opslaan-van-wijzigingen-in-de-content-editor.aspx A quicker workaround would be to disable 'Enable native XMLHTTP support' in Internet Explorer settings. In IE, point to Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, disable ‘Enable native XMLHTTP support’ Good luck!
