$.getJSON request returns a 404 error

$.getJSON request returns a 404 error

I'm trying to learn jQuery from a book called Learning jQuery by Jonathan Chaffer & Karl Swedberg, and have ran into a problem that I cannot figure out. 

There is a b.json file provided by the book resources that should load with this statement:
  1. $.getJSON('b.json', function (data) ....
When I run the code I am getting a 404 not found error in the Chrome debugging tool stating the b.jason file cannot be found. I have the b.json file in the FormExanples folder which is odd to me that it's not finding the file. 

http://localhost:52000/FormExamples/b.json

The script file looks like this:
  1. $(document).ready(function() {
  2.   $('#letter-b .button').click(function() {
  3.       $.getJSON('b.json', function (data) {
  4.       $('#dictionary').empty();
  5.       $.each(data, function(entryIndex, entry) {
  6.         var html = '<div class="entry">';
  7.         html += '<h3 class="term">' + entry['term'] + '</h3>';
  8.         html += '<div class="part">' + entry['part'] + '</div>';
  9.         html += '<div class="definition">';
  10.         html += entry['definition'];
  11.         if (entry['quote']) {
  12.           html += '<div class="quote">';
  13.           $.each(entry['quote'], function(lineIndex, line) {
  14.             html += '<div class="quote-line">' + line + '</div>';
  15.           });
  16.           if (entry['author']) {
  17.             html += '<div class="quote-author">' + entry['author'] + '</div>';
  18.           }
  19.           html += '</div>';
  20.         }
  21.         html += '</div>';
  22.         html += '</div>';
  23.         $('#dictionary').append(html);
  24.       });
  25.     });
  26.   });
  27. });

and the JSON file:
  1. [
  2.   {
  3.     "term": "BACCHUS",
  4.     "part": "n.",
  5.     "definition": "A convenient deity invented by the ancients as an excuse for getting drunk.",
  6.     "quote": [
  7.       "Is public worship, then, a sin,",
  8.       "That for devotions paid to Bacchus",
  9.       "The lictors dare to run us in,",
  10.       "And resolutely thump and whack us?"
  11.     ],
  12.     "author": "Jorace"
  13.   },
  14.   {
  15.     "term": "BACKBITE",
  16.     "part": "v.t.",
  17.     "definition": "To speak of a man as you find him when he can't find you."
  18.   },
  19.   {
  20.     "term": "BEARD",
  21.     "part": "n.",
  22.     "definition": "The hair that is commonly cut off by those who justly execrate the absurd Chinese custom of shaving the head."
  23.   },
  24.   {
  25.     "term": "BEGGAR",
  26.     "part": "n.",
  27.     "definition": "One who has relied on the assistance of his friends."
  28.   },
  29.   {
  30.     "term": "BELLADONNA",
  31.     "part": "n.",
  32.     "definition": "In Italian a beautiful lady; in English a deadly poison.  A striking example of the essential identity of the two tongues."
  33.   },
  34.   {
  35.     "term": "BIGAMY",
  36.     "part": "n.",
  37.     "definition": "A mistake in taste for which the wisdom of the future will adjudge a punishment called trigamy."
  38.   },
  39.   {
  40.     "term": "BORE",
  41.     "part": "n.",
  42.     "definition": "A person who talks when you wish him to listen."
  43.   }
  44. ]

Could someone help me understand why jquery is returning this 404 error with the exact path to where the JSON file is located?
