Subject:Re: opening unzipped HTML file on iPad ? From:Richard L Hamilton <dick -at- rlhamilton -dot- net> To:Monique Semp <monique -dot- semp -at- earthlink -dot- net> Date:Mon, 6 Aug 2012 13:37:17 -0700
Hi Monique,
In the browser, to the left of the box where you type in URLs, there is an icon that is a box with an arrow coming out of it. If you click that icon, it will give several choices, including "Add to Home Screen." That's the one you want.
> Hello, TechWR-L-ers,
>
> I want to be able to put a giant set of HTML files (an API Reference) on my iPad so that I can show them without needing to be online.
>
> So from my PC I uploaded a ZIP of the html files to my Dropbox account. And on the iPad I installed the Dropbox and iZip apps. And I’ve successfully opened (from within Dropbox) the ZIP in iZIP and extracted all the files. The result is that within iZIP I can now successfully click the extracted index.html file, and things look surprisingly good. (I say “surprisingly” because no attempt was made when I created this DoxyS-authored API Reference to have the results viewable on mobile devices.)
>
> So far so good.
>
> But... I’d really prefer to simply have a bookmark to that index.html page so that I could open it in the normal resident iPad browser (Safari, not sure how to tell which version).
>
> Is this easily do-able?
>
> Thanks much!
