I have a content editor web part. Whenever I edit the content and then click save, the following errors occurred:

"Cannot retrieve properties at this time."
"Cannot save your changes"

How do you fix this?

I tried googling it.. there are some similar cases but not exactly the same. I tried this link:

and this one:

I found the answer!! apparently using mozilla firefox it worked. Then I found out that there is a javascript error in IE, this javascript error doesnt happened in firefox. how ironic!
