I want to read this file but it is in HTML text format and won’t do anything and my google drive won’t load it either
I have an HTML file in iCloud that I want to open in an iPad browser. I don't see any options in Safari. Is there a URL address bar syntax like "File///"? Browsers are not available in "share" from Apple "Files".
(more info below...)
When I click on the file, the Readdle browser is pre-empting Safari. If I could figure out how to open the file directly from Safari or Brave, my problems would be solved. The Readdle browser doesn't show an "address" for the file when it's opened, so I can't copy it. I can't just delete Readdle without moving a bunch of files around etc. (I used Readdle before "Files" was added.)
I have "a-Shell" installed, but it won't let me access system files.

Safari on Iphone 13 doesn't run internal JavaScript of a local HTML file. The Iphone has no option to open the file with Chrome. Chrome has not a menu option to open a local file. Ctrl+o depends on a physical keyboard. The file is proprietary, so it cannot be served from the Internet. How to run the internal Javascript of a local HTML file on an Iphone?
I downloaded an app for calculating some complicated board game admin onto my phone, which takes the form of some .js files and a .html file that you can open up to 'run the app'. I downloaded and unzipped this folder to my 'Files' app, and everything in there seems to be present and in working order. For whatever reason though, when I click on the .html file it takes me to the home page of the calculator but then the buttons don't do anything when clicked.
Conversely, if I do the exact same thing on my PC, the .html file works just fine and I can run the app from my browser.
Is there something in particular I need to do on my iphone to make this work?
(for reference, the local files/"app" in particular are here: https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/95274/fresh-fish-assistant-v-10)
I do it using the 'Notes' app on my iphone. Quick and free download.
I emailed the file to myself, then opened it on my phone via email. Inside the email, I clicked the html file. This opened it. I then clicked the download button on the top right of my particular iphone. After that I clicked "Add to Notes".
Inside the notes app, my html file is there and also all functions work as there is also javascript involved.
Once the page is opened on your iPhone all you have to do is tap the Sharing icon, middle icon on bottom, and select 'Add to Home Screen'
If you want to load an html file that you've created on you Mac to your iPhone you'll need to do the following. From System Prefs > Sharing > Enable Web Sharing. Place the html file in your ~/Sites folder. Go the the URL listed in the Web Sharing panel from your iPhone, while on the home network, and open the html file. It will load in Mobile Safari.
If you want this to stay on your iPhone you'll need to have the page written in html5 and have a properly setup CACHE MANIFEST. This includes the appropriate tag in the html file and have the proper manifest file. Then you can follow the first step and add it to your home screen and always have it on your iPhone.
Can I get help coding this Shortcut?
What I am trying to do is open any HTML file in Safari to show a preview while coding?
With Frontend Development in mind! iPadOS.
Turns out Microsoft Edge, unlike Safari, can still open local html files. Discovered in this answer. To wit:
- Install Microsoft Edge from the App Store
- Open
Files(or whatever file browsing app you like). - Open the file, then tap the Share button to send to another app.
- Scroll across to "More...", choose Edge, and voila!
I had the same issue today on ios15.
There is a free app called Koder available on the App Store which will let you edit and view the HTML file. I’m no expert but the editor looks pretty fully featured at first glance.
I'm using atom and actually I was able to open html files on Safari, but after I changed the file paths of them, I cannot open the files, but the paths are searched on google automatically.
I’m trying to open a (static) web site (HTML, CSS, JS) that is on my local filesystem. I tried with Safari, Firefox, Firefox Focus, Chrome, by dragging-and-droping from the files app. But it doesn’t work.
I’m really stuck… so far. Any idea?
EDIT: as ever, my so useful and so so much beloved iSH do the job so well!iSH is a lightweight local linux VM on iPad. So it has python3 installed.
So launching a simple python3 -m http.server and… here is my local web server available on http://localhost:8000.
