That's great sandy ... Its really new to me.. Thanks for your note on this.

went through www.w3.org/TR/FileAPI/ and found it really useful.

@stratby hopefully this should fix your issue.

I just tried this and worked for me.

The  question isn't about the "internet" accessing local files, it's a
webpage loaded from a file:///-URI-as-domain loading additional assets
from the same filesystem-as-domain.

While  support  varies, this is not considered a security risk because
you have chosen to load the main page from your local drive.

There's  also  the FileAPI which, with end-user approval, can read the
bytes of local files even if the main page is loaded over the net. You
don't need to upload-and-redownload the files to access their contents
in this way.
