How do you read a file in the current directory using JQuery.getJSON()? I'm trying something simple (with my data.json file in the same directory as my html file): $.getJSON("./data.json") and I get the error: XMLHttpRequest cannot load file:///C:/Projects/test/data.json. Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin. I've tried all sorts of combinations of path, but it doesn't seem to work... EDIT: I'm using Chrome, but I'd like to work in all browsers... If you are using Google Chrome, it is intentional that AJAX on file:/// paths never works. crbug/40787 This is because you're

I am creating a HTML page where I need to display the names of the files present in the specific local folder, example - C:\Users\User1\Documents\folder1 . I tried to write the code in java script but have not succeeded yet. Most of the question threads mention about "ActiveXObject" to be used but that itself does not work for me. Reference: JavaScript: Read files in folder Can anyone help me in achieving this? duskwuff In general, you can't do that. Web pages do not have access to the local filesystem. Chrome can access the contents of a directory that is selected using a file input field.

I want to check if a file exists locally, where the HTML file is located. It has to be JavaScript. JavaScript will never be disabled. jQuery is not good but can do. By the way, I am making a titanium app for Mac so I am looking for a way of protecting my files from people who click "show package contents". dSebastien Your question is ambiguous, so there are multiple possible answers depending on what you're really trying to achieve. If you're developping as I'm guessing a desktop application using Titanium, then you can use the FileSystem module's getFile to get the file object, then check if

I have the following directory tree: + folder1 |--- folder2 |------ page1.html |--- page2.html If I set some cookie in page1.html using JavaScript, what is the path used for that cookie? Edit: Let me explain it better. I'm working with a local file. page1.html is being accessed through /home/user/.../folder1/folder2/page1.html and not through a client machine using a HTTP Server. Just to clarify: It seems that some browsers (like Chrome) do not store cookies when using file:/// , but both Firefox and Internet Explorer do. From the MDC page for document.cookie : If not specified, [the path

How can I store local files such as JSON and then fetch the data from controller? peter Since React Native 0.4.3 you can read your local JSON file like this: const customData = require('./customData.json'); and then access customData like a normal JS object. ES6/ES2015 version: import customData from './customData.json'; For ES6/ES2015 you can import directly like: // example.json { "name": "testing" } // ES6/ES2015 // app.js import * as data from './example.json'; const word = data.name; console.log(word); // output 'testing' If you use typescript, you may declare json module like: // tying.d

I'm trying to do something like this . But I don't know why I'm not getting this thing work. Here it is the codepen example : $('input').on('change', function(e) { var file = e.currentTarget.files[0]; var reader = new FileReader(); reader.onload = function(e) { $('audio source').attr('src', e.target.result); } reader.readAsDataURL(file); }); The source tag is receiving the base64 mp3 file, but it doesn't load the file into browser. You set the src attr directly on the audio element. fiddle var $audio = $('#myAudio'); $('input').on('change', function(e) { var target = e.currentTarget; var file
