I’m trying to create a website that can be downloaded and run locally by launching its index file.

All the files are local, no resources are used online.

When I try to use the AJAXSLT plugin for jQuery to process an XML file with an XSL template (in sub directories), I receive the following errors:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load file:///C:/path/to/XSL%20Website/data/home.xml. Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

XMLHttpRequest cannot load file:///C:/path/to/XSL%20Website/assets/xsl/main.xsl. Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

The index file making the request is file:///C:/path/to/XSL%20Website/index.html while the JavaScript files used are stored in file:///C:/path/to/XSL%20Website/assets/js/.

How can I do to fix this issue?

    For instances where running a local webserver is not an option, you can allow Chrome access to file:// files via a browser switch. After some digging, I found this discussion, which mentions a browser switch in opening post. Run your Chrome instance with:

    chrome.exe --allow-file-access-from-files

    This may be acceptable for development environments, but little else. You certainly don’t want this on all the time. This still appears to be an open issue (as of Jan 2011).
