Files don't fetch

[cranca]

Hi, I'm having an issue when fetching files. The GH repos work well but not files... I tried to put absolute paths and relative ones but any worked nor in Firefox neither in Chrome. I'm on a Win8 machine.

What I did:

• I copy template.html and I leave it in a folder, renaming it to index.html
• I edit the Initializer section to this: fetcher: Flatdoc.file('Readme.md')
• Then I put a Readme.md file next to index.html
• I open index.html with FF or Chrome
• I get the template correctly rendered but empty

If I change the init to point a GitHub repo, then it works

The same if I put it in a local web server the same occurs. Can anyone help me to find what I'm missing?

Javascript is restricted from accessing the local filesystem. This discussion pointed me in the right direction: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6923707/using-ajax-to-read-local-files

I ended up serving the local folder through a web server and then Flatdoc is able to read the local markdown file. Easiest way for me on a mac: http://lifehacker.com/start-a-simple-web-server-from-any-directory-on-your-ma-496425450

Hmm, maybe your issue isn't the same as mine, but maybe this will help someone else with a similar issue.

I've run into the same problem, solved it via [https://code.google.com/p/mongoose/](https://code.google.com/p/mongoose/ Mongoose). Drop into your folder, start (maybe ajust the port) be happy :)
