title: Microsoft Edge cannot read local files with AJAX method of JQuery
body: <p>I'm creating a program to access local files using the ajax method of JQuery.</p>
  
  <p>This program is working correctly in IE11 and older version but failing in Microsoft Edge browser.</p>
  
  <p>It is showing the 'Network error' for the same and going to error section in Microsoft Edge.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone let me know the workaround for the same?</p>
  
  <p>Here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;
  &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
  &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt;
  &lt;title&gt;Untitled Document&lt;/title&gt;
  &lt;script src="js/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  
  &lt;script&gt;
  $("document").ready(function(){
      BrandAllMenu();
  });
  
  function BrandAllMenu() {
             var  xmlPath = "branding.xml";
             $.support.cors = true;
              $.ajax({
                  type: "GET",
                  url: xmlPath,
                  async: false,
                  dataType: "xml",
                  success: function () {
                      alert("in");
                  },
                  error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                      alert("jqXHR: " + jqXHR.status + " Response text : "+ jqXHR.responseText);
                      alert("Menu XML test status: " + textStatus);
                      alert("Menu XML: " + errorThrown)
                  }
              });
  
  
  
        }
  
  &lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  
  &lt;body&gt;
  
  &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
