jQuery - GET News.html 404 (Not Found)

Question

For some reason, this doesn't work: ``` $.ajax({ url: "News.html", cache: false, }).done(function(data) { $("#content").load(data); }); ``` It gives me: ``` GET http://127.0.0.1/News.html 404 (Not Found) ``` But for whatever reason, opening that url manually (copy paste the url) works just fine. And i thought it had something to do with browser cache at first so i added the `cache: false` option to the ajax function but even then.. argh.. Also it does not show up as a requested URL in my `access.log` file.. For information i guess, i'm running: - lighttpd - php as fast-cgi via localhost:port - mapped .html => .php - Running OpenBSD 5.3 and uncommented (in `/etc/php.ini`): - cgi.fix_pathinfo=1 Also: ``` # ls *.html News.html index.html ``` And here's the request headers for `News.html`: ``` Request URL:http://127.0.0.1/News.html Request Method:GET Status Code:404 Not Found ``` Request Headers ``` Accept:*/* Accept-Encoding:gzip,deflate,sdch Accept-Language:en-US,en;q=0.8 Cache-Control:…

Accepted Answer

This smells a bit like a same-origin policy issue. The path you are specifying may be causing the issue. Try

```
$.ajax({
    url: "/News.html",
    cache: false,
}).done(function(data) {
    $("#content").load(data);
});
```

And let me (us) know if that helps.
