I have the following Javascript/jQuery on my page:
<script>
$("#mymarkdown").load("./LPInfo.md");
var md = markdown.toHTML($("#mymarkdown").html());
$("#mymarkdown").html(md);
</script>
That page is here:
http://www.nickhodges.com/LeanTed/bootstrap/about.html
The page uses bootstrap. I've looked and see no errors in the console when rendering the code.
As you can see, it is not doing what I want, which is using markdown.js to render the contents of a file into HTML.
Here's the weird part, and the root of my question:
If I open the page as a local file, Chrome does nothing. IE9 will open and properly render the page, but only after I give permission to run the script.
Both browsers fail to render the page correctly using the above link. Firefox has the same result.
I confess to being pretty much of a n00b on all this, but I'm at a loss to explain the inconsistent behavior. I understand that the code is accessing a local file, but that shouldn't be a problem when accessed via the web server, right?
Anyway, and help will be appreciated.
UPDATE: Here's the code for the page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
