Read Data from JSON file using d3.js

I am new to d3.js and I am trying to reproduce the example B is for breaking links in this tutorial.

As you can see in the jsfiddle of this example, the data is read from a <script type="application/json" id="mis"> tag, but what I want is to read it from a different file.

I used the d3.json() function as suggested in this Force-Layout example, but when I added the threshold slider which is supposed to break my links, nothing happens.

When I ran the console, it gave me the following error :

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'splice' of 
undefined
threshold @ index.html:82
onchange @ index.html:101

This is my code :

output.json

The file output.json is in this link.

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style>

.node {
  stroke: #fff;
  stroke-width: 1.5px;
}

.link {
  stroke: #999;
  stroke-opacity: .6;
}

h3 {
    color: #1ABC9C;
    text-align:center;  
    font-style: italic;
    font-size: 14px;
    font-family: "Helvetica";
}

</style>
<body>
<script src="//d3js.org/d3.v3.min.js"></script>
<script>

var width = 960,
    height = 500;

var color = d3.scale.category20();

var force = d3.layout.force()
    .charge(-120)
    .linkDistance(30)
    .size([width, height]);

var svg = d3.select("body").append("svg")
    .attr("width", width)
    .attr("height", height);

var graph = d3.json("output.json", function(error, graph) {
  if (error) throw error;

  graphRec=JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(graph));

  force
      .nodes(graph.nodes)
      .links(graph.links)
      .start();

  var link = svg.selectAll(".link")
      .data(graph.links)
    .enter().append("line")
      .attr("class", "link")
      .style("stroke-width", function(d) { return Math.sqrt(d.value); });

  var node = svg.selectAll(".node")
      .data(graph.nodes)
    .enter().append("circle")
      .attr("class", "node")
      .attr("r", 5)
      .style("fill", function(d) { return color(d.group); })
      .call(force.drag);

  node.append("title")
      .text(function(d) { return d.name; });

  force.on("tick", function() {
    link.attr("x1", function(d) { return d.source.x; })
        .attr("y1", function(d) { return d.source.y; })
        .attr("x2", function(d) { return d.target.x; })
        .attr("y2", function(d) { return d.target.y; });

    node.attr("cx", function(d) { return d.x; })
        .attr("cy", function(d) { return d.y; });
  });
});

//adjust threshold
function threshold(thresh) {
    graph.links.splice(0, graph.links.length);
        for (var i = 0; i < graphRec.links.length; i++) {
            if (graphRec.links[i].value > thresh) {graph.links.push(graphRec.links[i]);}
        }
    restart();
}
//Restart the visualisation after any node and link changes
function restart() {
    link = link.data(graph.links);
    link.exit().remove();
    link.enter().insert("line", ".node").attr("class", "link");
    node = node.data(graph.nodes);
    node.enter().insert("circle", ".cursor").attr("class", "node").attr("r", 5).call(force.drag);
    force.start();
}

</script>

<form>
    <h3> Link threshold 0 <input type="range" id="thersholdSlider" name="points" value = 0 min="0" max="10" onchange="threshold(this.value)"> 10 </h3>
</form>

What did I do wrong ? And how can I fix it ?

Thanks!

I could not find any bugs in your code. The only problem I could find is that the variable name graph used twice.

var graph = d3.json("output.json", function(error, graph) {
---------------------
---------------------
});

Edit: Try this code.

var graphRec, node, link;
d3.json("output.json", function(error, graph) {
   if (error) throw error;
   graph = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(graph));

   force
      .nodes(graph.nodes)
      .links(graph.links)
      .start();

   graphRec = graph;

   link = svg.selectAll(".link")
      .data(graph.links)
      .enter().append("line")
      .attr("class", "link")
      .style("stroke-width", function(d) { return Math.sqrt(d.value); });

   node = svg.selectAll(".node")
      .data(graph.nodes)
      .enter().append("circle")
      .attr("class", "node")
      .attr("r", 5)
      .style("fill", function(d) { return color(d.group); })
      .call(force.drag);

   ------------------------
   ------------------------
});

//adjust threshold
function threshold(thresh) {
    graphRec.links.splice(0, graphRec.links.length);
        for (var i = 0; i < graphRec.links.length; i++) {
            if (graphRec.links[i].value > thresh) {graphRec.links.push(graphRec.links[i]);}
        }
    restart();
}
//Restart the visualisation after any node and link changes
function restart() {
    link = link.data(graphRec.links);
    link.exit().remove();
    link.enter().insert("line", ".node").attr("class", "link");
    node = node.data(graphRec.nodes);
    node.enter().insert("circle", ".cursor").attr("class", "node").attr("r", 5).call(force.drag);
    force.start();
}

Working Code Snippet.
