using ajax to get local text file content

Question

I have 2 files named index.html and mytext.txt in the same folder. I want to get contents of mytext.txt using an ajax call in the index.html . I use this code but it is only working in firefox not chrome:

$.ajax({
    url: "mytext.txt",
    dataType: 'text',
    success: function(data) {
        alert(data);
    }
});

I am opening index.html simply from explorer not server!
