 * I for some reason lost the HTML tab when adding or editing a new page or post.
   Can someone tell me what I did to change the setting in the first plac and what
   can be dome to correct it?

 * It’s been renamed “Text” – does the same things still.

 * One additional note. I checked my profile and verified that the box next to “
   disable the visual editor when writing” was NOT checked so I should still have
   both the Visual and the HTML tabs but do not (missing HTML tab)
 * Please assist

 * Another note…it just keeps getting better…I also noticed that I have no dropdown
   menus on my widgets page. So anotherwords I can not see what widgets are in the
   side menubar , for example.
 * Any additional advice on this one?

 * WPyogi,
    Thanks for the reply but if that is true how come when HTML code is 
   added to the “text” page is does not show up except as text in the visual page?
 * Please advise

 * This will be caused by the java script used on the backside by one of your plugins.

 * The text tab is to add or view content in html format. When switching to visual,
   you will not see the html code only the _visual_ aspect of your content.
