Retrieving External JSON Data from a Server with Firefox

I've been developing a static local HTML5 charting application that retrieves data from a remote server for output. The code works perfectly in Google Chrome, as shown below, but I'm encountering difficulties getting it to function in Firefox.

<script type="text/javascript" src="file://oxtradixtaservdev1/Logs/fragma/frapst3.json"></script>

The JSON file is located in a shared folder accessible locally, but unfortunately Firefox seems unable to fetch it, even though Chrome has no issue with this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer №1

Maybe Firefox is preventing calls to the file:// protocol.

You could try creating a web server on your own computer to access the file through http instead. It's a simple process, just search online for instructions on setting up Apache for your specific operating system.
