Possible Cause:
Installed 2 add-ons that did not work so I uninstalled them.
- Fade Gallery
- Random Image Modifiziert
Fix:
I checked all the folders on my site through ftp client against the 1.6.3 full package. Apparently one of the above add-ons removed most all of my js files from /media/system/js folder.
After copying and pasting the 1.6.3 files for that location from the 1.6.3 full package to the server side location. Everything is now working as intended.
I hope this will help at least one person not go through the frustration I had to go through.
