d3 pack layout with local or hard-coded data

[jrmychrstphr]

I want to be able to create a bubble chart when not loading the website over the internet for use in an app.

So far, I have tried to get the bubble chart example on the d3 website (http://mbostock.github.com/d3/ex/bubble.html) to work in this manner, but nothing I seem to do will render when not loading the document online.

As far as I can see, I think the issue is that the JSON file is not being read. Reading the d3 API, this is likely to be down to cross-domain requests issues.

Can anyone explain to me how to get around the cross-domain requests issue?

Or is there a way to hard-code hierarchical data in the javascript?
