外部URL链接

Question

I have the following code:

<script>
        var fileContent;
        $.ajax({
            url : "text.txt",
            dataType: "text",
        ...

It loads the text from a .txt file in order to obtain the data. If the text.txt is on the same path as the html code, it loads the data. However, if I type for example (placing the file in a different folder):

url: "../../../files/text.txt"

It does not allow me to obtain the file. Any ideas of how to do it or how to implement it without changing the code in a significant way? Thanks!

Answer 1

There are three possible causes of this:

You are using HTTP

You are using HTTP and the path you are trying to access is not exposed by your web server. (You cannot access files above the directory root by default).

You need to give the file a URL on your web server and request that URL.

You are using local files

Different browsers have different security restrictions for Ajax on local files.

You can get this problem if the file is in a directory above the HTML document (some browsers only allow you to access files in the same or a lower directory).

You can resolve this by using HTTP. Ajax in general works very poorly without HTTP.

You simply have the URL wrong

Correct the URL.
