Question

I’m using the following code to read a local text file from a local Javascript file, but it isn’t working:

var txtFile = new XMLHttpRequest();
txtFile.open('GET', fileLocation, true);

The error I get:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load file:///C:/File.txt. Cross origin requests are only supported for HTTP.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

You can not access local resources from javascript,
You should put this file in your site and try to access it via fileLocation like http://mywebsite/File.txt
