JavaScript indeed does work locally or on the server in the same (with a few exceptions like certain AJAX scripts). Also, check the error console for any JavaScript errors that may tell us if something is going wrong. Lastly, check that the path to the script is OK.
 
Same issue

Garrett, were you able to get it working? I have the same issue. Mine worked with MAMP 1.7.1 but I wanted to reinstall leopard after messing with some things. When I reinstalled (not archive and install) I installed MAMP 1.7.2 and now it does not work. If you got it working can you share the info?
