JS/jQuery script fails to load .txt file

I am writing a word/name generator. On my local computer the script works fine but when uploaded, the jQuery is not able to load the text file and I get a 404 not found error. The text file is there, I have checked a number of times. Here is the simplified code: http://namepicker.site11.com/test.html

The file does exist: http://namepicker.site11.com/names and there is text in it.
Thank you for any advise,
Todd

Txt files aren't supported on free hosting

rename it with a different extension and it will work fine
