Rails - Apr 2006 - Nested AJAX remote_form in form?

I''d like to achieve something that is better described by the following
code:

  <%= start_form_tag :action => ''create'' %>
    <%= text_area ''place'', ''description'',
:cols => 100, :rows => 4 %>

    <div id="categories">
      <%= form_remote_tag :update => ''categories'',
                          :url => { :action =>
''add_category'' } %>
      <%= text_field_tag ''new_price'' %>
      <%= submit_tag ''Add'' %>
    </div>

    <%= submit_tag "Create" %>
  <% end_form_tag %>

But I know for sure that this isn''t going to work due to the nested use
of forms. Is there a Rails-way to submit using AJAX while filling a 
simple form?

Cheers,
Marco

Yes, check out submit_to_remote and link_to_remote, particularly their
:submit options:
