three.js dual viewports only one displays

I have tried to clone Lee Stemkoski's excellent example of dual viewports at http://stemkoski.github.io/Three.js/Viewports-Dual.html.

It runs fine when accessed from its location on github on my local PC Windows 7 using Firefox 23.0.1. But when I copy the source and try to run it from my local drive it will only show the second viewport to be rendered. If I comment out the code for the second viewport rendering then it will show the first viewport OK.

It may be a version problem. I would have gotten the code from GitHub but it doesnt seem to be there. I obtained the source by doing "save as complete web page" from Firefox. To assist debugging I then minimized the javascript by progressively cutting out inessentials like stats, controls, information button.

I have run out of ideas and wonder if anyone can see what the problem is . The last 11 lines of the underneath code block are where the action is.

Cheers.

Needed the following statement (in the javascript init function) to prevent renderer clearing its buffer after rendering the first viewport:-

    renderer.autoClear = false
