Set up a proxy, or move the file. The Javascript Same Origin Policy prevents
access to files that are not on the same 'origin' (host, port) as the HTML
document. If you can't make the client think that the file is local (this
is what a proxy does) or move the file so that it *is* local, then there
is nothing that Javascript can do to help you.
