Ok guys,

This is a weird one, and I really need help figuring it out!!!! My site needs to go live in 1 week!

So out of nowhere, I suddenly noticed that the letter "i" just starting appearing above forms in the administration view.
It's pretty much just on the pages where you add or edit content as far as I can tell. I can't for the life of me figure out where it's coming from.

Here's the source:

  <div id="page">

          <div class="tabs-secondary clearfix"></div>

    

    <div id="content" class="clearfix">

      <div class="element-invisible"><a id="main-content"></a></div>

                        i<form class="node-form node-page-form" action="/node/401/edit" method="post" id="page-node-form" accept-charset="UTF-8"><div><div class="form-item form-type-textfield form-item-title">
  <label for="edit-title">Title <span class="form-required" title="This field is required.">*</span></label>
 <input type="text" id="edit-title" name="title" value="Hurricane Sandy Recovery" size="60" maxlength="255" class="form-text required" />
</div>

screen shots attached -
hope someone can help!

thank you in advance

Support requests are never critical.

If you change the theme used on the pages in question, does the problem still occur? If so, the problem lies in your theme.

Thanks for the response, and sorry about the improper status.

It appears regardless of the theme I choose.

This is funny!
Looks like a typo left over from some inadvertent file editing. Do you use vi at all?

General solution, (and the final desperate step) compare your core code with what it should officially be, using your source control (if any) or a side-by-side file&folder compare with a clean checkout.

But in your case, I'd have a look around theme_form()
includes/form.inc:3858

Might not be that, but it's the next place I'd look (after eliminating the theme, as above)

this truly is funny! i'll poke around where you suggest. i didn't use any vi, AND i've updated Drupal core since this thing popped up! (deleted everything but sites folder and copied in the release)

I just ask because "i" is the character it's easiest to fumble-finger when using vi ...
Was worth a guess.

If you are sure CORE is clean and it's not the theme, that's starting to get more mysterious even.

its not in form.inc

am i really going to have to go through every single core file?

We have robots to do that for us. As a command-liner, the tool is "diff -r good_drupal bad_drupal".
Without knowing your preferred OS, I dunno what the best tool for you is. "recursive file compare" is a pretty useful feature, and is why we use version control and IDEs.

core is looking good, used Active File compare and ran through them all... it has to be somewhere inside my sites folder.

it only come up for adding/editing content

It'll end up coming down to a rogue contrib module I guess
