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

As long as the file does not need to be dynamically generated, e.g., a simple text or html file, you can test it locally WITHOUT a web server - just use a relative path.
