Question

I have a WebApp built in PhoneGap.
I read this article
So I tried to port my app to Windows Phone 8 and followed a Getting Started guide here.

I am using Marionette.js and Cordova 2.3.0rc2. I have an ajax call here.

 $.ajax({
    url : urlTemp + templateId + ".html",  //This refers to a file in my local file system
    data : {},
    success : function(data) {
      App.templates[templateId] = data;
      callback.call(this, data);
    },
    error : function(err) {
      alert('ERROR LOG: Error loading Template for: ' + urlTemp + templateId + ".html");
    },
    dataType : 'text'
  });

Somehow this always goes in error. This works well in Android and IOS.

If it’s just a local file, you may be able to use the FileReader API instead of an AJAX request to read the file data.

Edit: Just noticed you stated you are using 2.3.0. Removing my comments about it not yet supported in 2.2.
