My browser cannot load the climate-data.csv due to cross origin issue.

I'm not using workspace. I downloaded the project files and open it on my text editor. I got this error when I made the d3.csv request in dataBinding.html:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load file://Users//Documents//D3js-master/Stage2/examples/climate_data.csv. Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes: http, data, chrome, chrome-extension, https.

Happened the same to me,

You should run the html examples within a web server, because d3.json(), d3.csv(), etc perform ajax request internally to get data.

One way to setup a simple http server is with python 3.

I downloaded the project files and place it in C:\D3js-HustonHedinger-master

Then with cmd, and located in that directory, start a web server:

python -m http.server 8000 --bind 127.0.0.1

Then browse http://127.0.01:8000/Stage2/examples/dataBinding.html
