$.ajax function is not reading csv file in chrome

Question

Circumventing Chrome Access-control-allow-origin on the local file system?

My question is very straight forward, I am using $.ajax function to read a CSV file and the code is working on FF and IE9 but not in Chrome....

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.2.min.js">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: "autorating.csv",
        contentType: "text/csv",
        success: function(data) {alert('asdsa');}
     });
});


</script>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
</body>
</html>

Any help will be appreciable... Thanks

also console.log(data) in your success handler and compare between browsers. — Gung Foo, Sep 22 '12 at 18:04
XMLHttpRequest cannot load file:///F:/shane/autorating.csv. Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin. — mohsin.mr, Sep 22 '12 at 18:05
Run it on a web-server, (even local) and the error should go away. You seem to be running it directly at the moment. — Anirudh Ramanathan, Sep 22 '12 at 18:05

You are reading local file without a server. Chrome doesnt allow this.

This Link for further read.

Use --allow-file-access-from-files as a safer workaround.

XMLHttpRequest cannot load file:///F:/shane/autorating.csv. Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin. means you are trying to load a local file which is forbidden in chrome. That makes kind of sense as you wouldn't want just any script to go through all you local files. Besides that, there is a way even though you just need to run it on a HTTP-Server. Check out this this.

Content-Type must include charset

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
