Hello,

I'm trying to read a file from a local filesystem. I do not have a server at my disposal and thus i'm trying to do it this way. Here is what I got so far;

function init(){
    netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege('UniversalBrowserWrite');
    dojo.xhrGet( 
    { 
        url: "/json/coursedata.json",
        handleAs:"json",
        load: function (type, data, evt) {alert (data) }, 
        //mimetype: "text/plain" 
    });
}

I'm getting this error from the firebug console;

Access to restricted URI denied"  code: "1012

Line 16
