Hi, all.

I recently tried to visualize an MCC tree with discrete traits using SpreaD3 v0.9.6. Unfortunately, the index.html is blank as shown below. I have tried opening said file in Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and Safari to no avail.

I also used the convert-spread3.sh from Github as recommended by a lot of users here. Unfortunately, I don't think the code works anymore even with the provided sample file/s.

Has anyone encountered the same issue and has found another solution?

Many thanks,

Jessel

This is because js-script generated by SpreaD3 do CORS requests locally, not through http://, or at least it should add Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * in the head. So you should raise your own local server. There are a lot of programmes & packages for this. I prefer simple-http-server personally.

Hello!

As I mentioned above, you may just run a local http server and it works.
