sharepoint: Using a Content Editor Web Part this error occurred:"Cannot retrieve properties at this time."

Asked 2009-07-07T07:18:55.867

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 don't see how this is an answer -- "don't use IE".

In my case (and apparently many others) it has something to do with ISA + SharePoint + host headers. I will post the fix if I find one.

If you are editing a webpart page, make sure that it is checked out. Sometimes the document library the webpart pages are in will have a "force check out to edit" option and it will give you errors if the webpage itself isn't checked out.
