Sitecore: Experience Editor broken after upgrading from sitecore 7 to sitecore 8

I have upgraded to sitecore 8 and facing critical issues regarding only the Experience Editor.

After logging into Experience editor with Admin rights, the page opens only with one tab "Optimization"; no buttons are active though.

Also, i found one issue that i was familiar with:clicking any web edit button would add a "#" symbol at the end of the url. This behavior was found when i was developing a javascript and debugging it and whenever there would be any error in js, "#" would get suffixed to url and button click wouldnt work.

I am not sure if this related to SPEAK features and how to tackle this issue with Experience Editor ?!

Just as a starting point for investigation: if you have a sample page that comes with Sitecore 8 (or you create a simple page separate from your solution and do not mess with your custom code) - does not it work in Experience Editor as well? – Martin Miles
Hi Martin. Pages display properly in the editor but the ribbon tabs are not displayed. Also the same for simple page. – Prathamesh dhanawade

I had similar issue in past. Ensure you have got webedit.css file at the web root. Looking at your description above I guess that is exact case.
