Today I learned that Safari can’t understand compound extensions in the accept attribute of file inputs.

So, for example…

<input
type="file"
accept=".kitten.databases.tar.gz"
>

… fails. So you have to do:

<input
type="file"
accept=".gz"
>

(Which, of course, opens the person up to more chances of selecting the wrong file.)

🤷‍♂️
