read local text file in javascript

Question

I have a local test.txt file that I need to read into variable in JavaScript and send that variable to google.visualization.arrayToDataTable() to create a chart. Text in test.txt file is in right format (I tried to copy it directly into function and it works). But I don't know how to read that file into variable.

Answer 1

Reading local fine js is not permitted how ever you can use jQuery script function to load the data
