Can't add any more AP Divs

Question

Hi,
I'm building a site for my husband which is built entirely
with AP Divs (in CS3). Messy, but quick and easy.
Never made a website before, so it's all a bit new to me!
I've got to the stage now though, where I can't add any more.
I can draw the shape using the Draw AP Div tool, but as soon as I
let go of the mouse button, the box disappears (it doesn't get as
far as becoming a blue box).
I've checked that it's not hidden beneath another layer.
One thing I have noticed is that if I use design view to
delete an AP element, it doesn't seem to get removed from the code.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks,
A

You pay a serious price for the "quick and easy" part, buy
you may not be
aware of it yet.

There is no limit on the number of AP elements a page can
have.

This would mean that you aren't really removing the element
from either
Design or Code view. If the code is there, the element is
there. If the
code is not there, the element is not there.

It would be hard to diagnose what might be happening without
seeing your
page and its code. Can you post a link?
