  • Did you execute `thisfunction()`? What is the result? – showdev Sep 02 '16 at 17:30

    What makes you think there *is* anything wrong with the code? Is there some indication of a problem that you've neglected to describe? – David Sep 02 '16 at 17:32

It seems you need to enable CORS.

From http://enable-cors.org/:

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) is a specification that enables truly open access across domain-boundaries. If you serve public content, please consider using CORS to open it up for universal JavaScript/browser access.

Also read the following thread: XMLHttpRequest cannot load file. Cross origin requests are only supported for HTTP
