See http://drupal.org/node/289963 for explaination of the problem.

After a clean install of drupal 5.9 I saw a checkbox next to "title" which gave me the opportunity to select all content at once in order to edit. After configuring all my modules and inserting content the checkbox dissapeared. Removing all modules, run the update script dit not yield positive results.

Since I have no idea how that checkbox is rendered I have no idea where to look for a solution. To me it is a black box now. Maybe it is a 5.9 bug, maybe a DB fault or it is due to a faulty module (although removement of the modules did not gave me my checkbox back)

So hopefully the experts have an idea where to look for a solution....

Does nobody has an idea what might happen here? With some hints I can at least try something...

The checkbox gets rendered in theme_table_select_header_cell(), which can be found in includes/theme.inc . If there is a problem loading the javascript file (misc/tableselect.js), then the checkbox won't render. So maybe the file isn't there anymore, or the permissions are messed up on it, or you accidentally disabled javascript.

Also if the theme you are using overrides this, that could cause some problems too.

Are you using a custom theme? Is your file misc/tableselect.js still around?

I have the same problem. The checkbox near "Title" on the Content page is not there anymore. It has probably happened after I installed Jquery_update module and replaced misc/jquery.js file with a new one.

misc/tableselect.js is still there and my browser reports no javascript errors after loading Content page. Theme is default.

P.S. Removing Jquery_update module and restoring original misc/jquery.js file doesn't help.

P.P.S. Strange enough, after restoring Jquery_update module the checkbox is BACK again! But when I update misc/jquery.js file checkbox disappears!

Considering the lack of activity on this issue and that Drupal v5 is no longer supported by fixes or patches, I am going to close this ticket.
