Works in JavaScript mode from Processing but no from the exported directory

My sketches (I've tried several) work fine in JavaScript mode run from the Processing environment. But when I export for he web and then open the index.html file, the Processing area on the page is just blank. I get the same behavior on a Mac and a PC. Seems like I must just be missing some step or doing something wrong.

    Are you just opening the index.html file itself, or are you hosting it on a local webserver?

    On OSX, using terminal, navigate to the directory where the index.html file is hosted and type python -m SimpleHTTPServer and navigate to localhost:8000. Does it work then?

    It depends on the browser: some of them doesn't allow JavaScript to be run on a page opened from the filesystem, for security reasons.

    As said, you should open them from http://localhost with a Web server running locally.

    Firefox and its derivatives allow it!
    For others like Opera & Chromium and derivatives, we gotta dive into some advanced configuration for it! :-j

    Ah. Thanks. I was just trying to open the index.html as I had done with the Applet versions in the past. All is well.
