Chrome uses a fairly stringent same-origin policy. There are two things you can do:

1) You should not normally develop from file://. Use MAMP, your built-in Apache web server or some other way to set up a local web server. If you are on a Mac, as I surmise from the path you provide, you can launch a very simple Python-based http server by opening up terminal and entering

$> python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080

This will open a simple HTTP server on port 8080 from the folder you invoked it from.

2) You can, but you really should not, relax your safety settings for Chrome. This is possible, but generally bad practice.
