If the initial page loaded from the "http://localhost"; domain and you try to access a file via a "file://" URL then the browser (not jQuery) will stop you. You'd have to make the file you wanted to access available via the same domain "http://localhost";
HTAs can be very different beasts to "normal" pages, so it could be something weird happening based on the security measures.
