Jquery load() only working in firefox?
Solution 1:
Try launching chrome / chromium with --allow-file-access-from-files flag set
See How do I make the Google Chrome flag "--allow-file-access-from-files" permanent?
Solution 2:
Try
<script>
$(function(){
$("#stage").load("list1.html");
});
</script>
If still not works, check the Network section in the Developer Tools of your browser and see if there are any HTTP or Security errors.
