Answer 1

Unfortunately, you need to run this through a server to link the two files, either setting up an XAMPP server yourself or publishing your files to a hosted server so the http://... protocol can be used rather than file:/// (your case, because you are using a localhost).

One way to do this and solve your problem is:

1) navigate to your project folder in the terminal

2) if you have python v2.x installed then run:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer

or for python v3.x:

python -m http.server

3) open up your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000

4) select and open your .html file

It worked for me.
