@guysoft could this have anything to do with my problem? I'm sure I just missed something stupid.

In order to load a local file you would need to use file:// instead of http. Although I am not sure if that resolves you problem. As far as I know chrome disables JS for local files. Therefore you will probaly have to isntall a webserver (apache, nginx lighttp or similar) on the pi

There is an onboard websever, but then you need to use https://localhost

I am closing this because its not a FullPageOS issue.

Makes me think we might need a forum

I am converting this to a discussion, its not an issue with FullPageOS
