Its only started happening today, but whenever i edit or add a field, i get taken to a URL like the one below:
admin/build/views/ajax/config-item/home_sitenews/default/field/comment_count

where home_sitenews is my view name, default is the display, field is what i was adding/editing and comment_count was what field it was.

it displays the following line of code in browser:
{ "replace": { "#views-tab-default": "\x3cdiv class=\"clear-block views-display views-display-default\"\x3e\n \x3cdiv class=\"top\"\x3e\n \x3cdiv class=\"inside\"\x3e\n \x3cspan

what has made it do this, does anyone know? and how can i fix it?

for now, i can get along by pressing back, and clicking edit, it does make the change for me... but its just annoying to go back all the time...

This started happening to me when my site went live. I figured it has something to do with Drupal's built-in Javascript minimization and caching.
I agree, it is really annoying.

I am running a multi-site install and have this issue on only one of the sites. I am running Drupal 6.10, with Views 6.x-2.5. Unfortunately, I have not had to create a view recently on this site, so I am not sure if this problem existed earlier, but the steps I took immediately prior to getting this error were:
1) Updating the advuser module to 6.x-1.2
2) Updating the user import module to 6.x-1.2
3) Running update.php
4) Deleting a vocabulary in the taxonomy.
5) Editing a view that originally filtered by a taxonomy term listed in the vocabulary deleted in step 3 and clicking update. This is where I got the error mentioned above.

Based on other threads, I have tried disabling JStools, switching themes (to Garland), switching admin themes (I was running rootcandy, but I switched to Garland), and clearing caches to no avail. I can also confirm that I have the same behavior mentioned above in that if I hit the back button, the change was made.

UPDATE:
I have been able to resolve this on my installation. The key was none of the above, but that fact that I had enabled secure pages during the store set-up (after I had configured all of my views). I found this comment that led me to consider my .htacess and settings.php file. I had a base url set in the settings file. I commented the base url out and the issue resolved itself.

I also have securepages installed. Have not tested disabling it, but it sounds like a likely culprit.
Thanks.

issue appears to have been with another module.

Not sure if I can shed some light on this but after some debugging I have uncovered that in my case;

I have a custom jQuery slider & a Cufon text replacement script. I'm also using Garland as my base theme.

The $scripts variable needs to be loaded AFTER your jQuery or Cufon javascript files have loaded.

example;

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php print base_path() . path_to_theme(); ?>/js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

Then load;

<?php 
    print $scripts;
 ?>

In the reverse order, clicking on update or save in views sends me to a blank page with a script similar to the one in the original post (#1). Hope I can help someone that is having this same problem.

Thank You Aaron! You've saved me days worth of time! For months I've had to use the back button and waste time whenever I wanted to create or edit a view on a site. This is good to know.
