bug on Safari

The webkitdirectory attribute on the <input> element is not functioning correctly in Safari (tested on 17.5 and 18.0). According to the MDN documentation, this attribute should allow users to select directories for upload. However, in Safari, the following issues occur:

Users can select individual files instead of restricting the selection to directories.
This behavior is inconsistent with other browsers (e.g., Chrome, Edge), which support webkitdirectory as intended.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Use the following HTML snippet in Safari:
<input type="file" webkitdirectory>  
2. Attempt to select a directory.

Example:

Expected Behavior:
The input should allow users to select a directory, and all files within that directory should be uploaded as specified in the API.

Actual Behavior:
Safari allows selecting single files instead of directories.
