$('div#homepage_boxes> div.col').click(function(event) {
// only toggle if it was div.col or its H2 that was clicked...
if ( this==event.target || $(event.target).is('h2') ){
$(this).siblings('.selected').andSelf().toggleClass('selected');
}
return false;
});
And you should ensure that your form covers div.col entirely.
