The simple answer is that you can't make Ajax calls to a file
resource. Apache httpd is fairly easy to install (http://
httpd.apache.org)--or check your distro if you're running Linux. If
you're using a pro version of Windows, you can also enable IIS or
PWS. (There are also simpler lightweight httpd servers out there, but
I don't run those, so I can't speak for them. :-) )
There are ways to possibly get around that, but if your goal is to
test Ajax operating properly, I suggest setting up a simple web server
for your purposes. Otherwise, you may end up expending debugging time
on something that will never come into play.
