Problems with jQuery getJSON using local files in Chrome
Another way to do it is to start a local HTTP server on your directory. On Ubuntu and MacOs with Python installed, it's a one-liner.
Go to the directory containing your web files, and :
python -m SimpleHTTPServerThen connect to http://localhost:8000/index.html with any web browser to test your page.
This is a known issue with Chrome.
Here's the link in the bug tracker:
On Windows, Chrome might be installed in your AppData folder:
"C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application"
Before you execute the command, make sure all of your Chrome windows are closed and not otherwise running. Or, the command line param would not be effective.
chrome.exe --allow-file-access-from-files
