Form SELECT field triggering hover out

Form SELECT field triggering hover out

I've got a really simple animation that slides down a form when hovered over, unfortunately as soon as you go to select something from a drop down SELECT element the form slides away.

Is there some way of stopping this? Code below:

$(".imgHolder").hover(
        function() {$(this).find('.vSmallPlain').slideDown(300);}
        ,        
        function() {$(this).find('.vSmallPlain').slideUp(100);}
    );   


I thought something like :

......
,         
     function() { if (!$(this).find('.selectElement').hover() ) {$(this).find('.vSmallPlain').slideUp(100);} }

But that doesn't work...
