Hi I a been struggling with a Dash board can't get any data in from an external CSV file to render any charts. When I put an Alert tag it loops on the node.js HTTP server.

Htnl code to call AJAX

/======UPDATE
 var updateChart = function () {
    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: "podData.csv",
        dataType: "text",
        success: function(csv) {

   var dataPoints = csvLines = points = [];
   csvLines = csv.split(/[\r?\n|\r|\n]+/);
   UD=csvLines.length -2;
   points = csvLines[UD].split(",");
   }
  });

HTTP: NodeJS

var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  fs.readFile('./DFH_COP_dashboard_v1.html', function(err, data) {
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
    res.write(data);
    res.end();
  });
}).listen(8080);
