A perfect web app framework

What should a perfect web app framework do? I have programmed a few PHP and JavaScript applications and in almost every app I needed:

  • Routes
  • Built in support for LESS/SASS (or at least simple installation)
  • Built in jQuery
  • ORM or simple Model-database access. Mainly for relations – 1:m, n:m
  • AJAX support. I mean auto redraw template after successful AJAX call or/and websockets support for realtime web
  • Internationalization and localization support
  • easy deployment (eg. $ meteor deploy myapp.meteor.com)
  • Pre-built authentication
  • tools for CSS and JS minification
  • mapping data from/to HTML form

MeteorJS is closest to be the perfect web app framework. I hope and believe it will be the perfect web app framework.

“clone” file input

I had a form with plenty of inputs and one (hidden) file input. File had to be selected in modal window. So I cloned the file input in modal into the form. It worked prefectly for Firefox and Opera but not for Chrome for security reasons.

I have read plenty of similar solutions but none of them worked in Chrome.

So I found out other way – move the file input instead of cloning.
