HTML5 won't run in any browser

Question

Got a strange one. I just upgraded from Captivate 7 to 9 and found that the way Adobe published HTML5 files has changed. Problem is, the Captivate-generated output runs fine when played locally but refuses to run when I put it on my web (ISP-hosted) server. That server hosts lots of other stuff that runs fine, but when I call up the index.html file on it (see link below), all it does is show the spinning circle - and that's it. That's the same no matter which browser I use. Any ideas what may be going on here? Anybody else seeing this?

Latest version? Make sure that JSON is supported by the server.

Thanks, RodWard and Lilybiri, for pointing me in the right direction. After talking to my ISP again, it turned out that I needed to add fileExtension=".json" mimeType="application/json" to the MIME map on my web space to make JSON work. That fixed it.
