Can html load javascript files from the local machine?

ray

I have a html file stored as the D:/proj/test.html. In the html file I
wish to load a javascript file---test.js which is stored in the same
directory as test.html.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/

>

<TITLE>Test Page</TITLE>
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" src="test.js"/>
...
</HEAD>
</HTML>
But when I open the test.html from the hard disk, it seems that the
javascript is loaded.
Can html load javascript files from the local machine?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, my mistake. That javascript file seems not be loaded.
