Hi,
My Drupal 5.3 site has been working fine for a while, but recently, when I go to add new content (of any type), I do not have the 'Submit' and 'Preview' buttons at the bottom of the page while logged on as super-administrator. I have tried using Firefox, IE 7.0 and Avant (IE clone) browsers to make sure it's not a rendering issue. I simply cannot add new content. I do not see anything in the logs other than 'Session opened for myuser'. I am able to administer all other aspects of the site and I've even created a separate user (not a super-administrator) and the Submit and Preview buttons are not displayed when attempting to create content as this user. I dont' think that insufficient permissions to create content would show itself in this way, where a user can fill out a form but just not have a "Submit" button. I also ran update.php and turned off the 'Access control' module and ran 'rebuild permissions', as I didn't yet have any customized permissions setup. Does anyone know of any setting or a particular issue that might prevent these buttons from showing up?

Hmmm, it sounds like you tried the things I would have suggested: Try a browser other than IE6, and check your permissions settings. I know I was having trouble seeing submit buttons and a few other choices in the views module with IE, and they magically appeared when using Firefox. It may have to do with stylesheet processing. Are your browsers set to override stylesheets? Maybe try a non-IE browser set to defaults, and if your site can adjust to a theme change for administration, try changing your admin theme and see if that takes care of it.

Check for the presence of the buttons in the HTML source, try a different theme (preferably a core theme), and try turning off all contributed modules. This was similar http://drupal.org/node/189713.

many thanks for both prompt replies. looks like the CCK (Content Construction Kit) is the culprit, though i haven't yet identified the individual component inside of CCK that is the problem-- i'm walking through that right now...

thanks much!
