So in the previous video the teacher uses the path data/employees.json path in the GET method "xhr.open('GET', 'data/employees.json');" but now he is adding the parent directory "../". If I include this in my Ajax request it doesn't work. Can someone explain why he has included it in this video and it seems to be working for him? Thanks
By the why the .js file, for the code below, is in a folder which is at the root directory with the "data" folder too. So it would make since to write ../data/employees.json in the GET method. But I don't understand why this does not work.
