Hey David,
The post at the following link states that WP is using outdated versions of prototype and scriptaculous. I am betting this is your problem…

My problem was after copying wpress site to local wamp server “visual tab is selected, however it is actually showing the HTML content”.
My fix was to set the language value in wp-config.php
Took me forever to catch that… I did every other thing I found on this forum before that one !
Worked fine online hosted without that set, but not locally.
For what its worth.

Hi thoughton,
I just ran around for two days trying to solve similar problem, but the error I detected was “Illegal document.domain value” blah blah, and/or (take your pick) blah blah “headers already sent” blah blah …messing about in Firebug to see what may be going on for Visual Editor not to be functioning.
To be clear (for other’s sake) the problem was Visual Editor being stuck in html mode… everything else worked (liked popups, tool buttons, etc).
I did everything suggested here in several posts, including things to do with caches, downgrading, upgrading, and many other things.. all very meticulously.
Lastly, I observed the problem on all browsers I run (several versions of IE, FF, 1 Safari). I am running a WAMP server for inhouse testing.

For me the fix was simply editing wp-config.php ~line24 to set the language to ‘en’, i.e.,

define ('WPLANG', '');
to
define ('WPLANG', 'en');

I apologize to the person who posted this who deserves the credit, ..I lost them in the minions of posts and closed windows …but thank you.

I couldn’t believe such a basic thing could have caused this.
Additional info to this.. I had copied my online installation and mirrored it to a tee, so how could I have missed this? Well, my online deployment doesn’t have this set, but it is working despite ;^)

Long post for such a simple thing, but I hope the added information can be helpful for anyone else searching as hard as I have to solve my particular version of this problem `8^P
