Submit/Save button not appearing

Question

I just created a page in my application based on form. This form is only suppose to update(no delete, no create) so i said no to those choices. When i see this page it has a cancel button but not Submit/Save button. When i see page rendering section I see Save button is in italics font , i don't know what it signifies....Any help is appreciated.
This is APEX 4.0
Thanks,

Hi Vishal,
Here's what I would do:
1) Drop the sequence that you mentioned you created for param_id. If the table will only ever have one row, the sequence isn't necessary. If there is a before-insert trigger that is using this sequence to set param_id, drop that too.
2) Bring the single row up in Object Browser and ensure that the param_id column for the single row is 1.
3) On your form, create an after-header PL/SQL process to set your hidden P2_PARAM_ID to 1 (I like doing this better than using the default setting of the item; I find using default kind of fluky sometimes and this way stands out more). Be sure this process runs before any Automated Row Fetch process or ApEx won't bring up the single row to update.
:P2_PARAM_ID := 1;4) In your Automatic Row Processing process, ensure that Item Containing Primary Key Column Value is set to P2_PARAM_ID, and Primary Key Column is set to PARAM_ID.
This ought to do it.
Hope this helps,
John
