Using JQuery to load an html page into a container on click

Question

I am attempting to using the load function to import html from one page into another on click, but nothing seems to be happening when I click the button. How can I fix the problem?

The console error I am receiving is:

jquery.min.js:4 XMLHttpRequest cannot load file:///C:/Users/Ian/Google%20Drive/Project%20Georgia/history.html. Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes: http, data, chrome, chrome-extension, https.

Here is the script:

<script>
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $("#btn-history").click(function(){
            $("#displayed-text").load("history.html");
       });
    });
</script>

The input button:

<input id="btn-history" type="image" src="img/history.gif" alt="Golden Lion" class="menu-icon">

And the container:

<p id="displayed-text">This is where text will show up.</p>

Edit:

After learning I cannot load from the C drive, I uploaded the page to Google Drive and modified my script as follows:

        $("#btn-history").click(function(){
            $("#displayed-text").load("https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7fJXEIdt8OCT2ozTlNaRktOZm8/view?usp=sharing");
       });

However, am still receiving errors.

Have you tried e.preventDefault() :

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#btn-history").click(function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        $("#displayed-text").load("history.html");
   });
});
</script>
