"You cannot peform this action" error message

[rsford31]

When trying to add a link in an editable area using Contribute 1.0 I get the
message "You cannot perfomr this action in this region of the page". The page
uses tables for layout and not css. I've read through the forums and can find
instances where this has happened to users but nothing that will resolve this
issue. Any ideas? If so, please let me know as soon as possible...Thanks!

I was wondering if someone could please answer this. We have a client who
purchased contribute on our recommendation and now its not working. This client
is becoming very irate because we can't resolve this issue for them.

Yeah, we see this in Contribute 3 as well. You can add one link, but it won't
let you add another one right after that. If you publish then go back into
Edit, then you can add another link. Our work-around is to add the first link,
then copy/paste it for as many links as you need to add. Then you just edit
the link properties and text of each of the copied links (right-click-->Link
Properties...), then publish! A bit crazy but faster than the publish-edit
cycle. Would really love to hear from Adobe on this one!
