[jQuery] proper syntax for a local path ../myDirectory/myFile.htm

[jQuery] proper syntax for a local path ../myDirectory/myFile.htm


I need to make a simple 'freestanding' prototype to be run locally. I
used a simple load() to grab a div from another file:
$('#ajax-panel').load("../myDirectory/myFile.htm #myDiv");
but the ../ in the url chokes. How can I accomplish that for a
prototype that runs locally on my machine without a proper server?
Thanks
