title: How do I access and read a local file from html+javascript page running locally
body: <p>I would like to write a small html file that would run locally and manipulate a small text file on my computer. My requirements are: </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Text file sits in a directory on my computer (test.txt)</li>
  <li>Html file is in the same directory as the text file (test.html)</li>
  <li>I would like to use javascript in the html to read and write the text file. </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Is this possible at all? If yes, how do I read and write my text file using javascript? </p>
