I've just stumbled upon form_clean_id() (http://api.drupal.org/api/HEAD/function/form_clean_id) and it only replaces the string "][" with "-".

IMHO it should at least replace "[" and "]" separately.

Forms and survey modules are no longer being maintained, use Webform module instead.

This issue is still unresolved for my clean installation of Drupal 6.14 + Webforms.

I used copy-pasted text for a "select" field, with string similar to "Wordpress-Template (+299 €)" without quotes. While the form works in Mozilla Firefox, W3C doesn't validate the exotic chars €)(. Additionally, the \t (Tab) character from copying went into the id as well, whereas when rendered in the Browser, the user can't see the difference from a ordinary space.

I post this here and not in the Webform issue tracker, as other module developers might also unwillingly create invalid HTML.
