I am getting this error message as I test my new webform (as a user). It seems as though it occurs ONLY when the LAST item of a Select with Multiple choices question (component) is chosen. I have three such questions in my form. If I leave them all blank, or choose any answer other than the last in the list, the form is submitted perfectly. If I choose the last item in just one of those questions, I get the error once. If I choose the last item in two of the questions, I get the error twice (in red, repeated at the top).

I am very new (less than a week) to Drupal and was thrilled to find this webform so easy to use. I am not a developer but was able to find it, install it, create a beautiful survey, get an email response...all today. Everything worked perfectly until I began creating lots of fake entries to test out the download function.

I have read the other posts regarding this message and don't see anything similar. I don't have special characters except for a semi-colon in one of these "problem choices" but not in the other two and I have semi-colons in other choices that don't result in the error. I even removed the last item in two of these, thinking I had an error or too many, but that didn't matter.

It also doesn't make a difference if I make the component mandatory or optional.

I hope I'm not missing something terribly obvious; please forgive me if I am! Thanks.

Could you post your list of options that you're using in the field that is causing the trouble? The error you're receiving isn't directly from Webform, it's from Drupal's built-in security mechanisms that is supposed to prevent tampered data from being submitted. My guess is that Webform isn't printing out the select list correctly and is accidentally submitting invalid data, which Drupal is then rejecting.

As far as I can tell, the list is as I typed it. I even went in to make sure there wasn't a blank line at the end. But it's like finding "what's different in this picture"...after a while it all looks the same! Questions 4 & 5 had NONE as a choice at the end, but I removed them to see if that made a difference.

Just now I tried it again (selecting the last item in each question). One instance of the error was returned, presumably for #5 because the check box was unchecked after the error.

I hope this is something I'm doing wrong because I am just smitten with this plug-in! I could tell my clients to set up an entire Drupal website and use this for the cost of just one month of SurveyMonkey! Thanks for your help.

Here is the webform (survey) location: http://pennymondani.com/?q=node/4

Here are the options for the three questions that seem to be the problem:

None

I've fixed this problem in the 3.x version. However due to the discrepancies between the 3.x and 2.x versions, I'm not sure this will get a backport. The problem was caused by quotes in your options, i.e. My Moodle site must be branded with my company "look".. To avoid the problem in the 2.x version, I'd suggest using the key|value format for your options, which will avoid the problem.

For example, instead of My Moodle site must be branded with my company "look". use custom_branding|My Moodle site must be branded with my company "look"..
