I can point to exactly where this bug is occuring, I just don't know enough XPath to fix it.

Given the following select element in a form:

<select name="pets">
  <option value="">Pick one ...</option>
  <optgroup label="dogs">
    <option value="akita">Akita</option>
    <option value="sheltie">Sheltie</option>
  </optgroup>
  <optgroup label="cats">
    <option value="siamese">Siamese</option>
    <option value="shorthair">Shorthair</option>
  </optgroup>
  <optgroup label="fish">
    <option value="goldfish">Goldfish</option>
  </optgroup>
</select>

and a bunch of other stuff in the form. If I totally ignore the field, it's supposed to just choose the first value in the form, so there's something submitted.

The problem is that it chooses all of the "first" values in the form, and I end up with a param that looks like

 { :pets => "akitasiamesegoldfish" }

Which, depending on the model, doesn't even come close to validating. ;)

I'm pretty sure the bug comes in from line 385 of webrat/core/elements/field.rb but unfortunately, I don't know enough XPath to hand you a nice fix for it.
