How to view HTML local file on IPAD

How can I view my offline/local Html file on IPAD? I used to use html reader apps before (such as documents by readdle), but nothing works anymore. In need for urgent help please.

So Far I've tried: Asking the Safari reading list to save them offline, making sure to enable automatic saving for offline use in Safari settings. Unsurprisingly Safari doesn't save the items in my reading list, which results in lots of unusable entries (and a useless feature). Saving the mobile page as a PDF through the system screenshot feature. The resulting PDF is just cut off at some arbitrary point making it impossible to read e.g. a long article. This happens both in reading mode and ordinary page PDFs. Unusable. Saving the page as a .webarchive with Safari. This is the best alternative so far, but when I open the archive in Files I can't interact with the preview of it, making e.g. expandable sections unusable (one example is mobile Wikipedia article sections), and I'm not offered to open it in Safari (!) This also prevents me from using Safari's reading mode on it. Saving the reading mode page as a .webarchive. Doesn't work — it just saves the source page, i.e. same result as #3.

Unsurprisingly the reading list can't even save the page for offline use when handed the archive on a silver platter like this... How can I open my .webarchives in iOS Safari?

• Latest iOS software update made app and files inaccessible Hi guys, So I've been using the TextPad app for years now, never thinking that a simple text editor would be broken by an iOS update. Now after the latest iOS update, I have a bunch of files in said app that I use daily and now cannot access unless the author updates the app (which I'm thinking isn't going to happen) Is there any way to extract the files so I can add them to a native text editor, or is there a way I can roll back my iPhone to the previous update where the app still worked? Any help is appreciated. Thank you! 652 15

I have it saved in many locations to try to launch it.

• in files. When i click on the html file, it shows a preview ( with an empty white page) since this step is not calling any links (js, css, etc) i tried to tap and hold to see if i can open it with safari also no luck, and i did some research about it. It says that you can not open html with safari or any other browser on ipad cause it will not call the links in the folder.
• I tried to open it in dropbox also. Again it shows a white empty page.
• I tried to launch it directly after downloading the file from we transfer (i sent it to myself) also no option to launch it. It only gives u the option to save it.
• I used to save it to files, icloud or dropbox. I previously downloaded an app called documents by readdle. Locate the file. When i used to click on it it used to work perfectly fine. Within the app itself. No browser needed. But suddenly after updating the app all the html folders i have stopped working.
• I also tried documents pro app: no luck
• goodreader app: it opens the file but freezes and the app stops responding after.
• I also didn’t find a way from safari to locate a specific file and open it.

so i reached the i “give up” phase. And i am searching for help 😅

Can you open any HTML file on the iPad? Is this particular document using any embedded SVG, or MathML content?

I don't have any iPads here running anything more recent than iOS 10.4. The iPad 5 with iPadOS that I setup last week is now gone.

Oct 2, 2019 10:57 PM in response to VikingOSX

I tried all the HTML files I have.

They are exported from Abode Captivate. They include some videos, photos, clickable boxes. Simply interactive videos but in the form of HTML5. I am not a developer really. I do e-learnings, I tried to figure it out and did so many researches about it, just to make sure the problem is not from captivate itself. I found out that the I-devices can not run HTML files on their browsers (they lose their links). And since all the files work just fine on Desktops/laptops (MAC, & even windows), then the problem is: to figure out how to make it work on an IPAD or even IPHONE, even if through an app.

I always need to check all the files i export before submitting them to my clients, to make sure they are bug-free. Most of the files are to be used by my clients on their tablets/IPADs.

What happens when you tap or double-tap the HTML file on the iPad? Is it automatically opened in Safari?

Oct 2, 2019 9:18 AM in response to Renatta.

How are you trying to open it?

Where is this file located exactly?

Explain what you are doing and what happens and any messages or error you receive.

note: this html file works perfectly fine on my imac. I can open it with any browserand no errors.

the problem is with the idevices.

HTML5 is the next generation markup language that contains a “video tag” that enables browsers to play videos without plug-ins like Flash, Silverlight or QuickTime. HTML5 has recently surfaced as a hot item because Apple shipped the iPad without Flash support, using HTML5 to play videos instead. For this reason, a number of web sites, most famously the New York Times and Time Magazine, have announced iPad compatible sites, and a number of streaming service and product suppliers have announced HTML5 extensions to their products. Unless you parse the press releases and news stories carefully while reading, you’d think that the world was going HTML5 tomorrow.

Basically, though, it comes down to two questions. Should you create an iPad compatible HTML5 site for the small, but rapidly growing iPad installed base, and should you change your main site over from Flash or Silverlight to HTML5.

Should You Consider an iPad-Compatible Site?

At this point, most of the organizations with iPad specific sites are large media shops or high profile consumer brands. The former includes CNN, Reuters, the aforementioned New York Times and Time Magazine, ESPN, CBS, Spin, National Geographic, Sports Illustrated, NPR and Major League Baseball. High profile brands include Nike, Virgin America and the White House. You can see a complete list at http://www.apple.com/ipad/ready-for-ipad/. To be clear, all of these sites are iPod specific sites, these organizations have not adapted HTML5 for their main site. Surf over to ESPN, CNN, or the New York Times and play some video, and you’ll see the Flash Player.

Should You Create an iPad Specific Site? There are many variables to consider, including: –  Do you care about the iPad as an audience? It feels like the initial buyers are well-heeled, Apple fanatics consumers; if you’re serving this audience, you need to consider an iPad site. If you’re a B2B manufacturer, you can probably wait awhile.

– How much of the content on your site is video? The iPad will be able to browse the Internet and can read regular text; just not video in Flash or Silverlight format. If you’ve got one or two videos on your site, it’s probably not worth the effort. If you’re attempting to become the next YouTube, it’s more of a priority.

– How hard will an iPad specific site be to create? If your site is totally home grown, it will take some (but not a lot) of effort; if you’re using an online video provider like Brightcove or Kaltura, who can already output HTML5 compatible videos, it’s much less effort.

Overall, for most sites, there’s no hurry, we’ll know more about how well the iPad sells, and about any competitors, over time.

Should You Consider Converting Your Main Site to HTML5?

Several things to consider here; first, only about 50 percent of the browsers out there are currently HTML5 compatible, so if you opt to support HTML5, you’ll have to include an alternative tag that will query the browser for HTML5 compatibility and fallback to Flash (or Silverlight, if you’re currently using that plug-in) if your browser can’t play HTML5. So, for the foreseeable future, you’ll have to support Flash (or Silverlight) anyway.

Second, there isn’t a single codec that all HTML5 browsers support; Mozilla Firefox, Opera’s Opera browser and Google Chrome support Ogg Theora, while Apple Safari, Chrome and reportedly Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 9 will support H.264. So, to fully support HTML5, you’ll have to produce in at least two formats, maybe three if you’re currently producing in VP6 for Flash, or Windows Media for Silverlight.

Third, to the extent that you’ve added Flash or Siverlight add ons to your site, say community features like Twitter integration or embed codes, you’ll have to re-write these in Javascript. If you use a streaming server with digital rights management (DRM) or have implemented multiple file adaptive bit-rate streaming, you’ll have to forgo these on your HTML5 specific site, because they’re not generally available, though they are coming. If you sell advertising via an ad server or network, you’ll likely have to forgo that as well, since these aren’t generally available now either, though they are coming as well.

So, at least in the short term, deciding to add HTML5 support to your current site provides no benefit to 50 percent of your viewers (though this will shrink over time), doubles your encoding load, forces you to rewrite many of your custom programs and may force you to de-feature your site. You make the call. Why the Hubbub About HTML5?

It all depends upon your point of view. To HTML5 proponents, Flash = air pollution, which is always BAD (in capital letters). Components of Flash’s bad-ness (in the older sense, not the positive newer, get on with your bad self, connotation) include the fact that it’s proprietary, a CPU Hog (though I disproved that here ), and a security risk, though Flash seems more of a target for hackers because of its ubiquity rather than any inherently faulty design.

To HTML5 proponents, providing any alternative to Flash, even one that requires more work and offers less features, is good because Flash = air pollution, and air pollution is BAD. Following this “logic,” HTML5 proponents don’t seem to feel the need to prove that HTML5 has any real advantages, other than displacing Flash. In other words, very little time and effort has been spent establishing features that HTML5 can provide that Flash (or Silverlight) can’t.

To others, Flash = a plug-in that enables lots of games, or Flash = a ubiquitous platform that enables simple cross-browser and cross platform publishing. To most of these folks, HTML5 seems like a polluted idea, and Flash a breath of fresh air.

Basically, the hubbub about HTML5 comes down to the iPad – no iPad, and none of the companies listed above would have a HTML5 site, and few of the technology providers would be making HTML5 product announcements. Before considering the iPad as the start of a mass migration to HTML5, however, understand that it’s a very limited test case. Like the iPhone, the iPad is a closed system that supports one single browser (Apple Safari) and one codec (H.264), one digital rights management technology (Apple’s) and one adaptive streaming technology (Apple’s).

In the real world of general computing, each browser has to duplicate the features currently supplied by the Flash or Silverlight Player. They will have to support multiple codecs, multiple adaptive bitrate technologies and multiple DRM systems on multiple platforms, and they’re going to have to agree on standards for all of these features. Many of these conversations have barely started. Standards for advertising servers will also have to be agreed upon and implemented. Throw in the fact that 50 percent of web visitors are currently driving browsers that aren’t HTML5 compatible, and you can probably keep HTML5 compatibility on the back burner for another 12-18 months at least.

How Apple made Safari about 60% faster in the last 6 months

A month ago, we told you about the release of Speedometer 3.0 , a new web performance testing benchmark that aims to provide a more fair and representative measure of how a web browser performs at modern web tasks. Unlike earlier versions of Speedometer, which were made more or less by Apple’s WebKit team, version 3.0 is made in a collaboration between Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla with a new governance model to agree upon what tests are important representations of the modern web.

In other words, it’s probably the most “fair” and up-to-date measurement of web browser performance we have right now.

WebKit is the rendering engine used by Safari and provided to Apple developers who wish to use web rendering within their apps. It’s required to be used by every browser on iOS or iPadOS except for those inside the EU. Apple’s WebKit development team published a blog post detailing how they used Speedometer 3.0 as a guide to optimize performance from Safari 17 (released in September 2023) and Safari 17.4 (released in March 2024).

Over those six months, a lot of small incremental improvements made a big difference. As the blog post summarizes:

With all these optimizations and dozens more, we were able to improve the overall Speedometer 3.0 score by ~60% between Safari 17.0 and Safari 17.4. Even though individual progressions were often less than 1%, over time, they all stacked up together to make a big difference. Because some of these optimizations also benefited Speedometer 2.1, Safari 17.4 is also ~13% faster than Safari 17.0 on Speedometer 2.1.  WebKit blog post

Some of those improvements include things like batching compositing layer updates, increasing cache size on macOS, improving inline and SVG layout, and more. Many of these improvements are minor, resulting in just a few percentage points here or there, or targeting very specific parts of web performance. But multiple small improvements compounding over time made for a much faster browser.

This doesn’t mean Safari is much faster than other Mac browsers, though. When we tested Speedomenter 3.0 last month , we were running Safari 17.4 and found it to be the fastest browser but only by a very small margin. Edge still had some catching up to do, but Chrome and Firefox are both just behind Safari’s Speedometer score.

When will Apple release the new iPad Pro? Here are the latest rumors

Apple’s new iPad Pro models are highly-anticipated and have been described as the biggest update to the devices since 2018. Over the last several weeks, we’ve gotten a lot of questions about when these new iPad Pros will actually be released. Here’s everything we know…

When to expect new iPad Pros

At first, the new iPad Pro and iPad Air models were expected to launch sometime in March or April. Apple, however, has reportedly faced a number of development and production issues that have delayed that launch.

According to a supply chain report this week, the launch of the new iPads has been “repeatedly postponed.” The delays have reportedly stemmed from both hardware and software bottlenecks. The new iPad Pro and iPad Air models will ship with iPadOS 17.4, and Apple has hit roadblocks in finalizing this software update.

Additionally, the new iPad Pros will feature OLED screens that are unlike anything Apple has ever produced before. These displays require new manufacturing techniques that have reportedly contributed to the delays.

Most recently, Bloomberg reported that the new iPad Pro and iPad Air will launch sometime in “early May.” In particular, he expects a launch during the week of May 6.

Analyst Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants said in a report that the new iPad Pro models will begin shipping from Apple’s supply chain this month – in time for a May launch. According to Young, production of the 11-inch iPad Pro is lagging behind the 12.9-inch model , suggesting it could be hard to find when it launches.

Finally, a handful of new iPad model identifiers have surfaced in regulatory filings this month. This process generally happens in the weeks leading up to a new product being released to market.

9to5Mac’s Take

With all of that said, one thing is clear: new iPad Pros are coming, and they’re coming soon…just not as soon as many people might have hoped. iPad fans might be waiting a little bit longer than they’d like, but all signs point to a launch within the next several weeks.

The new iPad Pros will feature OLED screens, a significantly thinner design, upgraded performance with an M3 chip, a new Magic Keyboard accessory, and more. Check out our full roundup for details on everything to expect .

Taking a look back at this week’s news and headlines from Apple, including iPhone 16 details, India’s new iPhone advantage, more iPad Pro delays, App Store’s welcome changes, Apple’s Web Browser power, and Microsoft’s big challenge to the MacBook Pro.

Apple Loop is here to remind you of a few of the many discussions around Apple in the last seven days. You can also read my weekly digest of Android news here on Forbes .

The iPhone 16’s Secret Sauce

Apple’s upcoming Worldwide Developer Conference is expected to debut Apple’s big and visible play into the Generative AI and LLM space, although don’t expect the software to become available until September when it will be the leading feature on the new iPhone. What could an AI-boosted Sir offer the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max handsets?

"Being able to describe the screen, no matter the app, opens up a richer avenue for accessibility apps, removing the need to pre-program responses and actions. Those looking to perform complex tasks or find obscure options on their phone could ask Siri to open up a complex app and use an obscure function hidden away in the depths of the menu system"

Is Leadership an Art or a Science

Nyt ‘strands’ hints, spangram and answers for friday, april 12th, apple issues new spyware attack warning to iphone users, the indian iphone success story.

Apple continues to diversify its manufacturing base and bring assembly closer to one of its key markets. This week saw reports on it’s iPhone operations in India, and facilities in the country are responsible for a significant number of smartphones:

"The figure accounts for $14 billion of assembled iPhones in the country, or about 1 in 7 of the company's flagship devices, a doubling of production compared to the last fiscal year. Models assembled in India include the iPhone 12 through to the latest iPhone 15, excluding premium Pro and Pro Max models.

( MacRumors ).

Is The iPad Pro Still On A Break?

The iPad Pro’s on-again off-again relationship with its release date continues. This week the Ross and Rachel of Tim Cook’s life looks like it will come to fruition early in May. Forbes’ David Phelan has ideas on what comes next."

"I would say the order of business is this: announcement on Monday, May 6 or Tuesday, May 7 as many countries around the world have May Day as a public holiday on the Monday. Then, pre-orders would begin on Friday, May 10. Initial reviews would appear a few days later, with the onsale date of Friday, May 17."

Another Step in Opening Up The App Store

Apple has opened up the App Store a bit more this week with two changes to its guidelines. the first is to allow subscription-based services to collect customer emails so they can be sent a link to subscribe to a service outside of the App Store and out of reach of Apple’s thirty percent rake.

"It’s not quite the same as signing up in the app, which would entail the commission Apple charges. Instead, “These entitlements also permit music streaming app developers to invite users to provide their email address for the express purpose of sending them a link to the developer’s website to purchase digital music content or services.”

The second is to allow emulators to download games from outside the app store space, although Aplpe is quick to note that any downloads are the responsibility of the app distributor; there does not appear to be any provision for users to dump their own games and copy them to their iPhone directly:

"The section on mini apps and game streaming has now been updated to include game emulators. “Additionally, retro game console emulator apps can offer to download games,” Apple says. However, there’s a catch… Apple warns that developers are “responsible for all such software offered in your app, including ensuring that such software complies with these Guidelines and all applicable laws.” This raises the question of whether anyone can release a game emulator or only the companies that own the rights to the games distributed for it."

( 9to5Mac ).

The Rise And Fall Of The Web Browser

One other area where the European Union’s Digital Markets Act impacts Apple is the rise of alternative web browsers. WIth Apple forced to show options to consumers, Safari is losing ground to smaller web browsers, but those companies beleive there is more work to do:

"In iPhones, users can see the choice screen only when they click Safari, and then users are shown a list of browsers with no additional information, said Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner, CEO of Norway's Vivaldi. "The process is just so convoluted that it's easiest for (users) to select Safari or potentially some other known name," he said.

"The complicated design has led European Commission to start a non-compliance investigation, opens new tab into whether Apple may be preventing users from truly exercising their choice of services."

( Reuters ).

And Finally...

Apple unlocked a significant amount of power and performance when it switched to ARM-based chipsets for the Mac platform. Will Microsoft do the same this summer with a rafe of ARM-based Windows devices launching? With Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite, it hopes there is enough to beat the Mac family… if the developers can come on board:

"There is a bit of a chicken and egg situation here; developers will program for ARM if there is consumer demand, but consumers will not demand an ARM laptop if there are no apps. Which is why the balance between emulation and native is key. Emulation means that the laptop is usable out of the box, getting the hardware into consumers' hands, at which point the advantages of ARM-based apps can be leveraged."

Safari HTML5 Audio and Video Guide

• Table of Contents
• Jump To…
• Download Sample Code

About HTML5 Audio and Video

If you embed audio or video in your website, you should use HTML5.

HTML5 is the next major version of HTML, the primary standard that determines how web content interacts with browsers. HTML5 supports audio and video playback natively in the browser, without requiring a plug-in. With HTML5, you can add media to a webpage with just a line or two of code.

The HTML5 media elements provide simple fallback for browsers that still need to use plug-ins, so you can update your website to HTML5 today and still be compatible with older browsers.

When you use HTML5, you can create your own customized media controllers for rich interactivity using web-standard CSS and JavaScript.

The HTML5 <audio> and <video> tags make it simple to add media to your website. Just include the <audio> or <video> element, use the src attribute to identify the media source, and include the controls attribute.

<video src="mymovie.mp4" controls></video>

There are no plug-ins to install or configure. The audio or video downloads and plays in your webpage with built-in controls.

In Safari, the built-in video controls include a play/pause button, volume control, and a time scrubber. In Safari 5.0 and later on the desktop and on iOS 4.2 on the iPad, the controls also include a full-screen playback toggle on the lower right. The controls automatically fade out when the video is playing and fade in when the user hovers over the video or touches it.

If you want to provide your own media controller on the desktop or iPad, just leave out the controls attribute. HTML5 media elements expose a full set of methods, properties, and events to JavaScript for interactivity, and because the media elements are HTML, they can be styled using CSS to create exactly the look and feel you want.

In Safari 5.1 and later, you can choose any HTML element and expand it to fill the screen, allowing you to use your own custom controls while playing video in full-screen mode.

At a Glance

Safari supports the <video> and <audio> media elements on iOS 3.0 and later and in Safari 3.1 and later on the desktop (Mac OS X and Windows). Support for these media elements allows Safari and other HTML5-compliant browsers to play the indicated source media without using a plug-in.

To get the most out of HTML5 audio and video, you should first learn to create the HTML media elements, then learn how to control them using JavaScript, and finally learn to apply CSS styles to media elements and modify styles dynamically using JavaScript.

Create the HTML5 Media Elements

To use HTML5 audio or video, start by creating an <audio> or <video> element, specifying a source URL for the media, and including the controls attribute.

Add Optional Attributes

You can set additional attributes to tell Safari that the media should autoplay or loop, for example, or specify a video height and width. You set boolean attributes such as controls or autoplay by including or omitting them—no value is required.

For more information, see Working with Attributes .

Provide Alternate Sources

Not all browsers can play all media sources. Some browsers are able to play MPEG-4 or MP3 files, while others play only files compressed using codecs such as Ogg Vorbis. Desktop computers can typically play media using a wider assortment of compressors than mobile devices. Safari supports streaming delivery using HTTP Live Streaming, while some other browsers support only HTTP download. To provide the best experience for everyone, you can provide multiple versions of your media. List the sources in order of preference using separate <source> tags. The browser iterates through the list and plays the first source that it can.

You don’t have to rely on the file extension and delivery scheme to tell Safari about the media file. The <source> tag accepts attributes for MIME type and codecs as well. For details, see Providing Multiple Sources .

Fall Back in Good Order

Browsers that don’t support HTML5 ignore the <audio> and <video> tags, and HTML5-savvy browsers ignore anything between the opening and closing tags except <source> tags, so it’s easy to specify fallback behavior for older browsers. Just put the fallback HTML between the opening and closing <audio> or <video> tags (after any <source> tags).

Your fallback can be an <object> tag for a browser that needs a plug-in to play your media, a redirect to another page, or a simple error message telling the user what the problem is.

For more information, including examples of how to use a plug-in as a fallback, see Specifying Fallback Behavior .

Take Control Using JavaScript

HTML5 media elements expose methods, properties, and events to JavaScript. There are methods for playing, pausing, and changing the media source URL dynamically. There are properties—such as duration, volume, and playback rate—that you can read or set (some properties are read-only). In addition, there are DOM events that notify you, for example, when a media element is able to play through, begins to play, is paused by the user, or completes.

For a complete list of methods, properties, and events that Safari supports, see HTMLMediaElement Class Reference , HTMLVideoElement Class Reference , and HTMLAudioElement Class Reference .

You can use JavaScript with HTML5 media elements to:

Create your own interactive audio or video controller—for an example, see A Simple JavaScript Media Controller and Resizer .

Display a progress indicator that shows how much of the media has downloaded—for an example, see Using DOM Events to Monitor Load Progress .

Load another audio or video when the current one finishes playing—for an example, see Replacing a Media Source Sequentially .

Slave multiple audio and/or video elements to a master controller to ensure your media elements are always synchronized—for an example, see Syncing Multiple Media Elements Together .

Test whether Safari can play the specified media type or file—for examples, see Using JavaScript to Provide Fallback Content and Handling Playback Failure .

Enter full-screen video mode—for examples, see Taking Video Full Screen and Taking Your Custom Controls Full Screen .

Set the Style with CSS3

Because the <audio> and <video> elements are standard HTML, you can customize them using CSS—set the background color, control opacity, add a reflection, move the element smoothly across the screen, or even rotate it in 3D. You can combine CSS with JavaScript to change media properties dynamically, in response to user input or movie events.

You can also change the CSS properties of other parts of your webpage in response to media events. For example, you could darken the background and reduce the opacity of the rest of the page—effectively “dimming the lights”—when a movie is playing, or highlight the title of the currently-playing song in a playlist.

For more information, see Changing Styles in Response to Media Events and Adding CSS Styles to Video .

For code examples, see Example: Setting Opacity , Adding a Mask , Adding a Reflection , and Rotating Video in 3D .

Prerequisites

You should be familiar with HTML and JavaScript. Familiarity with CSS is helpful. To create image masks, you should be able to work with transparency (alpha channels).
