Link manager in simple edit

I've got some calendar events, which are categorised into folders according to type and venue.


I want users to be able to edit the type and venue as well as the name, times etc.



So I nested two link manager pages into the simple edit layout.



It all looks OK in simple edit



but doesn't process OK



because each link manager is printing its own form-open and form-close tags, within the simple-edit form:

    
    
       
       ...
       
    
       
       ...


Looking at the "selection source" in firefox, shows me it's got very confused by all these nested forms.

Is there some trick I haven't found?

I have had a similar situation with our Calendar simple edit, and resorted to using ajax. You could use ajax to post values to the link manager urls instead. That way, you are just using them as "asset processors" rather than nesting them into the layout.
