 * Hi, I got a select on my form and i want a default value that can’t be submited.
   
   For example : Please a hobby you’re interested in…|Sport|Books
 * Is it possible?
 * And one more thing, the result show like this :
    Please a hobby you\’re interested
   in… Could it be avoided?
 * Thanks for your time.

 * 1. Yes, “nothing”, a space, a tab , etc. will all be trimmed to null and trigger
   the required validation message.
 * 2. _The result show like this: Please a hobby you\’re interested in…_
 * Yes, where are you seeing that output — in Salesforce or the email?
    What kind
   of field is it?

 * Hmmm… I couldn’t duplicate the escaped (slashed) apostrophe.
    issue — just tried
   a form full of them and everything looks fine.
 * Wondering if it’s a magic quotes issue…

 * Can you check to see if your host has them enabled?

 * Help! I have tried to create a drop down box within this integration but the 
   options are not showing up when I publish. Are there instructions or an example
   of the “picklist” you can show me? I am trying to make a dropdown for state.

 * Please don’t post on resolved threads – create a new one.
 * Also, read the FAQ… and post what you’re tried that isn’t working 😉
