title: Read a file in same directory as the JavaScript file
body: <p>I can load an image file located in the same relative path as the JavaScript file</p>
  
  <pre><code>var imgObj = new Image(); 
  imgObj.src = "images/backdropLevel0.jpg";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But how do I do the same (as simply and with pure JavaScript) for a text file ? <br>(it has some initial data for a webGL game I am working on).</p>
  
  <p>PS. I am <strong>not</strong> asking about user input from the client's computer using the new File object.</p>
