Since you didn't post your HTML, we can't offer a definitive answer. But a couple of suggestions:

  1. Use a JavaScript debugger (I like Firebug) to put a break point inside your "if" condition, to see if code execution ever gets there.

  2. If you're convinced the remove function isn't working, post a question in a JQuery forum, or submit a bug report on the JQuery site.

My suggestion is do some old school approach. Put an alert statement inside the if statement to see if it was really raised.

        alert("Before if condition.");
        if($("#edButtonHTML").is(".active"))
        {
            alert("Condition was satisfied");
            $("#edButtonHTML").removeClass("active");
            $("#edButtonPreview").addClass("active");
        }

Old school but it works for debugging. But you can use firebug, IEDebugbar or any other browser debugging tool to check if your javascript worked fine.

Don't think the if-statement will resolve. You can always add an alert statement inside the if to check. Another option to use is hasClass("active"), so

if ($("#edButtonHTML").hasClass("active") {
//go on

Change your if condition to [assuming active is your class name

 if($("#edButtonHTML").hasClass("active"))
 {
    $("#edButtonHTML").removeClass("active");
    $("#edButtonPreview").addClass("active");
 }
