Does Webform support these? Seems odd it wouldn't, considering it has support for other form elements...

Choose a 'select' option. It renders checkboxes and radios by default, and you can make it a selectlist by checking the appropriate box in the field settings.

Thanks. Now, how would I implement something like this form with Webform? As you can see, it's very detailed and, ideally, I'd like to get all the info into Drupal nodes, but as a reformatted list would be sufficient for now.

Wow, now that's intense!

If you want the end result to be a node (which I highly suggest if you want these to be searchable, or available in any public format), you should really implement this as a CCK type. Download the CCK modules and then insert all the field items you would need.

Eitherway, you'll need to actually theme the form you're creating to get it to not have such a generic format (or maybe that's okay...).

To theme a CCK form: http://drupal.org/node/98253

I think what you're wanting is outside of the scope of webform. Hope this helps.

Yea, I'm trying to do it with CCK (and Views) but it's not going too well (see this thread). I'm even trying various taxonomy/category-related modules, but it's all such a hassle to even get a basic categorization system akin to what MediaWiki can do. Unfortunately, MediaWiki has its own issues with user-interface and, of course, lack of decent tabling capabilities (i.e. database-like queries). Drupal is capable of mimicking an actual database but it takes a lot of work to get it to. :/

Anyway, thanks for your help. I'll continue looking...

Just for those who might be searching like me, the way to get a 'select' field to show up as a checkbox is to check the Multiple checkbox.

And if you want your checkbox to have a value but no label, simply put in a value in the options field without the readable part. For example:

yes|

The trailing '|' is necessary.

in addition to #5, I found you have to select the Customize keys (Advanced) option and set the key to "yes" (or any key you prefer) and the value to whatever you want the user to see such as "Yes, I agree"
