Cross-origin request for local file

I need to open a local html file in the browser. The javascript works fine but ajax stops working and XMLHttpRequest gives a cross origin error. Is there a way to run ajax from local directory. It is necessary for me that it is run from local file only.

Thanks

  • For anyone who wants to know, I had to run a server in the app to serve the js files. Seems like it's not possible to do it without running a server. If anyone knows of another way, do tell.
