jQuery: read text file from file system

Question

I am trying to read a text file using jquery, like this:

// LOAD file and split line by line and append divs
$.get(\'myFile.txt\', function(data) {    
    v         


        

Answer 1

this one is working

        $.get('1.txt', function(data) {
            //var fileDom = $(data);

            var lines = data.split("\n");

            $.each(lines, function(n, elem) {
                $('#myContainer').append('
' + elem + '
');
            });
        });
