You need to have your event handler handle things differently
depending upon the specific child element that was clicked.
For example:
$('div#homepage_boxes> div.col').click(function(event) {
var $tgt = $(event.target);
if ($tgt.not('form')) { //don't toggle when clicking the form!
$
(this).siblings('.selected').andSelf().toggleClass('selected').end().end();
}
});
See http://www.learningjquery.com/2008/03/working-with-events-part-1
for more complete coverage of this. It's where I learned it. :)
