On staging (source) server

On live (destination) server log
Illegal choice in webform element.
Deploying pages works fine, as does some Webforms. Thinking it was down to illegal characters, I stripped the form elements to only contain [a-z][A-Z] chars but the error still occurred.

gddI have not done any testing with webform, so its not completely surprising to me that it doesn't work. Are there any differences you can find between webforms that works and ones that don't? Like specific field types or anything?

ScanSafe commentedNot really.
Taking two examples from testing, both have common 'textbox and 'select' elements containing exactly the same values. The webForm that does deploy has a couple of extra 'select' and 'textbox' elements.

gddI think this is outside our base user-case and our efforts are better spent elsewhere, so marking this postponed unless someone wants to take a crack at it themselves.
