Can't load sotu_stop.txt

[ilyastam]

Problem:
When I click on buttons "Documents", "Vocabulary", "Topic Correlations" - nothing seems to happen.
Steps to reproduce:

1. Download the zip archive of source.
2. Open jslda.html file with the Chrome browser (Version 34.0.1847.131)
3. Hit Command+I to bring up the developer console.
4. Notice the following error messages:

"XMLHttpRequest cannot load file:///path/to/dir/jsLDA-master/sotu_stop.txt. Cross origin requests are only supported for HTTP. "
"Uncaught NetworkError: A network error occurred. "

Platform: MacBook Pro, OS X 10.9.2

It looks like you're loading the page directly into chrome rather than through a web server. jsLDA loads files through asynchronous requests, which usually don't work for "file:..." urls.

On my macbook, I open a terminal window, change to the directory with the HTML file I want to load, and use the command

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000

to start a little webserver, and then go to localhost:8000/jslda.html.
