Edit in Place Functionality Not Working
Are you using <EPiServer:Property... in your code front file?
On page edition is only working with Property webcontrols, not with code like <%=CurrentPage["MainBody"] %>

Yes -- I'm sorry for not mentioning that. We are using the EPiServer:Property control.

This seems to be a known issue in R2. In case you are using a non SP1 version you should either upgrade or try the following fix i got from support:
<location path="Util">
<system.web>
<!--Setup the StaticFileHandler for the wildcard mapping to work in IIS6-->
<httpHandlers>
<add path="WebResource.axd" verb="GET" type="System.Web.Handlers.AssemblyResourceLoader" validate="true" />
<add path="*.ht*" verb="*" type="EPiServer.Web.StaticFileHandler, EPiServer" validate="true" />
</httpHandlers>
</system.web>
</location>

That did fix the 404, thanks. The editing functionality, however, still doesn't work.

Doing some more debugging. The postback looks okay:
__EVENTARGUMENT=Edit
__EVENTTARGET=OnPageEditControl
I can verify that these two values are coming back into the page in the Forms collection on postback.
Here's the control code from the underlying template.
<EPiServer:Property ID="Property2" PropertyName="PageDescription" runat="server" />

Be aware that this is likely a very involved issue. My installation has some larger problems, I think.
I installed the default EPiServer site -- fresh site, using the default templates. Still, it doesn't work.
The issue is much larger than this particular site, I think.

I've this problem aswell. Nothing really happens when I try to edit in place, but it does give me the option to save, so episerver THINKS that it's working. If I try to save, then the page crashes with a null reference.
noone that has a solution?

Hello,
I have the problem that Editing in PLace does not appear but this happens when I try to create the project with the SDK in Visual Studio 2008 in Windows Vista Ultimate and EPiServer CMS 5 R2 SP1
I think that there is something strange with the setup.
Is there somebody that has any idea about this.
Thanks in advance

When I try the "edit in place" functionality (Right click, then choose "Edit"), the page just posts back. I am unable to edit anything. It does this in both IE and FF.
The "Edit" option is initial available in the right click menu. When I select it, the page posts back, and now the "Edit" option is disabled, but the "Cancel" and the "Save and Publish" options are now enabled -- as if the page thinks it is allowing me to edit at that moment.
All script files seem to be loading fine:
On at least one page, there are no other javascript files, so it can't be a conflict.
One thing I did notice --
When I right click, I can watch requests go out (via Firebug) for all the images in the right-click menu. A request for"/util/Empty.htm" always fails with a 404. Is this request something critical?
