How do I get my View\Edit tabs back in Drupal 6?

I somehow got rid of them and don't remember how. When I'm navigating my site while logged in as admin I want the view\edit buttons to show up above nodes.

If you're using advanced admin menu (a contrib module), you may have allowed the option "display menu tabs in top menu" (or something like that) - in which case you'll see View Edit etc. at the top right of the admin menu, and not where you're accustomed to see them.

I once had the edit tab disappear on me. I have no idea how this happened, but somewhere in the css it was defined as visibility: hidden. Check your html to make sure it's not simply being nuked via css; if the tabs are there in the HTML, use firebug to find which css rule is getting rid of them.

There could be a few reasons. First I would check the page.tpl.php file and look for <?php print $tabs; ?>. If that is not found, or is commented out, your tabs will not be shown.

Also check your CSS files to see if there is anything resembling:

.tabs {
  display: none;
}

I would also look for the use of theme_menu_local_tasks(). For more information see How to hide Edit | View tabs? and http://drupal.org/node/83090
