alt Hacker News>What if there’s a bunch of options, but for [reasons] we don’t want a user to be able to select a subset of them? Let’s add the disabled attribute to an optgroup
Seems broken in mobile safari, not actually disabled I can still select the disabled items.

This is the kind of thing I struggle with on using native HtML for more than the basics. Even if you do enough reading and have enough confidence to write an article like this the comments end up with quirks, limitations, or notes on lack of support about different browser+device combos.
Div soup is probably a bit far in the opposite direction, but even then it's at least pretty consistent and apparent what the quirks and limitations are because it aligns with what you or the framework wrote much more consistently.
Not broken, but strange since it should be working on latest Safari.

I think it may be a Safari bug.
