Can't use localhost as src of iframe

I'm developing a chrome extension and I want to display in the popup (when a user click extension icon) a page that has an url of localhost, in this page I will check if a user is logged in my site and depend on status I will display content in the page.
So I tried these:

First:

• create a popup.html (that doesn't contain the iframe)
• in popup.js create an iframe and give it an src, width, height. than append it to the body.

Second:

• in the popup.html add the iframe with the src of localhost.
• in popup.js create an iframe and give it an src, width, height. than append it to the body.

Neither the first nor the second works. and I get this: 

But when I use a normal site in src, like http://bing.com it works and show the page of bing.com

And when you go to localhost in a regular tab, does it behave differently?

What do you write as path for your localhost page?
it should be file:/// something right?

I see my page that has the content I would to display.

No, the address of my is this: http://localhost:8888/portal/publications/. Is served by local server. (I'm using Django framework)

What does the console say? there must be an error?

[PhistucK]

There might not be an error, it might be a redirect of some sort. Does the Network tab of the Developer Tools show anything of interest (a redirect, a request to localhost at all)?
