title: How can I load a local file using jQuery? (with file://)
body: <p>Is there any way to load data from a data file (eg a JSON .js file) using jQuery? </p>
  
  <p>eg: </p>
  
  <pre><code>$.get("file:///C:/objectData.js", function() { alert('Load was performed.'); });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>At the moment, instead of doing a simple HTTP GET, JQuery appears to be trying to do an OPTIONS request on it, which fails on a file:// URI.  I just want to load the data in so that the site can be used in an offline environment (without a web server installed). </p>
