Slidetoggle called when dropdown option is focused
<p><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/EhTJF/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/EhTJF/</a></p>

<p>Linked is an example of the issue I am running into.
When an element is hovered over, slidetoggle() is called to show a drop down list. When attempting to select an option in the ddl, slidetoggle() is called again and forces the ddl and the toggled element to collapse. </p>

<p>Any ideas of what I am doing incorrectly?</p>

<p>*Edit</p>

<p>The indented functionality is to allow a user to select an option from the drop down list and then afterwards allow the element to automatically toggle up.</p>
