Having trouble with Chrome and Processing

[Roberto Aramburu]

Hi there!
Im new to the world of Processing.js.

I followed the simple steps in the processing.js website http://processingjs.org/articles/p5QuickStart.html#quickstart

But when I try to load the simple circle sketch, it doesn't appear in Google Chrome. I checked my markup and its correct. I downloaded and saved the Javascript file "processing.js" in the same folder were my index.html file is.

I figured it would be a problem with the browser so I tried using it on Firefox and it works!

What can I do to make Chrome read the damn sketch?

Thanks in advance.

The problem you are having is a security feature in the browser. file:// urls are treated differently in chrome to prevent unauthorized use of local files. You can install a web server and use chrome, or simply develop in firefox.

Basically, the idea here is that I can't just pack along the contexts of /etc/passwd via javascript when you are running a local html file and send it off to my webserver

Or you can develop locally and upload your processing file to your server for testing. Working with a server running on you PC can be painful - it's slow and there are sometimes curious problems that pop up. The people at your web provider are probably better at keeping a server running that you or me.

For a webserver (looks like you are on a mac) download MAMP. Its plug and play webserver.
