I have Julia version 1.10.4 and the following packages installed in my work environment:
[61744808] DynamicalSystems v3.3.17
[7073ff75] IJulia v1.25.0
[c601a237] Interact v0.10.5
[91a5bcdd] Plots v1.40.5
[c3e4b0f8] Pluto v0.19.43
[0f1e0344] WebIO v0.8.21
I launch a Jupyter notebook, via:
```julia
using IJulia, Interact
notebook(dir=".")
```
When I try to use a widget, from within a cell in the notebook, from the Interact package:
```using
ui = button()
display(ui)
```
nothing shows up at all :-(. Any suggestions?

Hi!
I’ve investigated this for myself recently. It seems that both Interact and WebIO have not been updated for a few years and are now incompatible with the latest versions of jupyter lab and notebook (since notebook 7, I believe, and since either jupytelab 3 or 4, I’m not sure). However, NbClassic works if that interface suits you. I have `nbclassic 1.1.0` along with the following versions of jupyter related packages, all installed standalone:
```julia
# jupyter --version
Selected Jupyter core packages...
IPython : 8.26.0
ipykernel : 6.29.5
ipywidgets : 8.1.3
jupyter_client : 8.6.2
jupyter_core : 5.7.2
jupyter_server : 2.14.1
jupyterlab : 4.2.3
nbclient : 0.10.0
nbconvert : 7.16.4
nbformat : 5.10.4
notebook : 7.2.1
qtconsole : 5.5.2
traitlets : 5.14.3
```
Good luck!
