In order to fetch data dynamically like that, you have to use an AJAX request. Assuming you are not using a local webserver, you may have trouble loading data files like this, as some browsers disallow AJAX requests to the "file://" protocol (which is used for local filesystem access). Your best bet for something like this is to get a local webserver like WAMP or XAMPP and host your chart page and data files from the webserver.
