Hi,
I have an html site I want to be able to browse offline and show a group. (it is a simple quiz).
I downloaded a zip, unpacked it in goodreader, but can't view it in Safari. Viewing in goodreader is less than optimal as there are no cookies (which questions have been answered) and navigation is less friendly.
How can I do this? It was just two days ago that a cousin was complaining about the closed file system of iOS, and I just shrugged and said why would you need access... but I'm going to be annoyed if my solution to this problem is to load the html files on the windows laptop.

I don't know how to do this on the iPad, but have you thought about showing this using the iPad Simulator on your Mac?

I have tower macs, and I need this to be portable to bring to a school.
I suppose I could borrow a macbook to avoid the Windows shame...

You won't have internet access of any kind? I was going to suggest serving the site on your home Mac if you don't want to rely on some shared hosting account.

There's Offline Pages. I think you have to pre-load the webpages into the app, though. Not sure how much of a PITA that will be. Dunno about cookies, either.

I won't have the wifi password for the school, and don't have any verizon hotspot setup on my archaic cell phone.
Thanks for that app, I may try it. But it annoys that I'd have to pay $5 for something Safari should be able to do on its own. :/

So plain old file:/// URLs don't work on the iPad?

If Google will not share the iTunes file sharing path, you could always determine the path by jailbreaking the phone and looking around via SSH
