Client side csv to array help

[spydermixx]

I'm trying to use a local csv file as a data source for a Google Visualisation chart but don't seem to be having much luck. I've got a pretty basic working knowledge when it comes to HTML and JS, and have been able to get it working when the data source is hosted online, but fail completely when it's client side.

I've found jquery-csv/ which sounds like it should be what I need to use to get the csv into an array, but as my skills are pretty weaksauce could use some guidance/examples to help out.

Looks like this is what you need, from the documentation: https://code.google.com/p/jquery-csv/wiki/API#$.csv.toArrays()

This demo here seems to mirror what you're trying to do: http://jquery-csv.googlecode.com/git/examples/file-handling.html

When you say it completely fails with client-side data, where does it fail?
Can it actually access the csv file? Or does it fail when displaying it?
