Although you think so, the browser sees a security problem here. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy for more details.

Are you planning to go online with your application? If this is
designed to run off disk, you should use corect file urls, like this:
file:///C:/file.gml

Andreas.
