JavascriptMVC failing cookbook examble

Question

I'm working with JavascriptMVC but fail to get the following example working. I've followed it all step by step. The page 'does' show up but all I see is the recipes heading. When I use firebug I do see the following code present:

<h2>Recipes</h2>
<ul id="recipes"></ul>
<form id="create"></form>

However the form, nor the items show up. I've tried the latest Firefox stable build, Arora, the latest google chroom and internet explorer on Windows 8.1. Has anyone else run into this problem? I would ask on their forums but the registering web page is not working.

For reference this is my command while building the project:

      cookbook/cookbook.js

I had the same thing happen to me too. The warning in the tutorial about chrome made me believe that other browsers (like IE, which I tested) did not have that problem, but it seems they do.

Either way, I put "--allow-file-access-from-files" as a launch parameter for chrome and it worked properly.
