Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Documentation Graveyard :: API: HTML, defect)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0
Build ID: 20180118215408

Steps to reproduce:

I looked at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/optgroup to see, whether optgroup is supported in Internet Explorer or not. There it is listed as being not supported.


Actual results:

Actually it is supported. Tested it in Internet Explorer myself, since I couldn't believe it wasn't supported, and checked https://caniuse.com/#search=optgroup
There is stated "These elements are supported in effectively all browsers (since IE6+, Firefox 2+, Chrome 1+ etc)".


Expected results:

The documentation should list it as supported in Internet Explorer.

Updated the browser compat data for optgroup in PR #921 [1]

[1] https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/921

The change will go live after this is merged, the next npm package is posted, and it gets pulled into the site.

I'll close this once the PR is merged.

Yes, I have dug a bit and found the original versions for Firefox and not found the initial ones for IE (though it is 6 or earlier). I've requested the needed change in Sheppy's PR.
