Using a web browser (e.g., Safari, Chrome, etc.) can I view html pages that are stored locally on the iPad? The pages should render properly and execute Javascript/CSS properly.

    Where are these files stored? – bassplayer7 May 15 '13 at 16:18

Since the files are always local to the app in iOS. You can't open a html with apps like Safari and Chrome to load associated assets (js/images/css).

However, You could use apps like Documents to upload the folder and open in app browser (uiwebview).

Should work if the URL to assets in the html are relative.

  • As I read your answer, it's basically a no. You can't store documents and have the full browsers open them. Chrome, Safari, etc… due to sandboxing. Yes, most apps embed a less optimized web viewer based on the same framework / WebKit as Safari but without some javascript optimizations. – bmike♦ Oct 11 '13 at 14:13
  • Coda launches a local webserver and then opens your documents in the full browser. itunes.apple.com/us/app/coda/id500906297 – vsp Jan 25 '16 at 15:36

You can create Web Apps for offline viewing by adding them to the home screen. To do this the web page must be written using HTML5 Offline Application Cache. See the below link for further details.

I always use the GoodReader app to view the local html files. You can try it.

If you want to run HTML, JavaScript and CSS on iOS then I suggest getting an app like Coffe Script at Once
