Jquery: Running AJAX locally without a webserver

Question

I have the following function in a .js file in index.html

function getValues(){

 $.ajax({
   type: \'POST\',
   url: \"http://localhost/getData/getdata.php\         


        

Answer 1

AJAX needs a webserver to communicate with for it to be able to retrieve any data; otherwise its just talking to a wall. Running the script without a webserver is like trying to make a call with no cell-service. :D
