So I made a website and I have all the html, css, and js files in a folder. I can open the file in chrome, but I was wondering if there was a way to open and view html files without using a browser, maybe like an app that acts as a browser but is offline and only opens .html files.
One use case is opening files on a high performance computing cluster with no internet access and no browsers installed. Using secure copy to bring very large .html files onto a personal computer for hundreds of samples would be very time consuming and require manual input. A way to view text and images of an .html file without a browser would be very useful if it exists.
Thank you!

HTML is made for browsers. You can't run scripts made for browsers without a browser.

I'm creating a web based application and I got a JS library containing all my JS functions. If I try to open the library via browser I can see the source code. Is there a way to obfuscate it or deny the access to the file to users?
No, AFAIK there isn't, because the server cannot see whether the browser requests the JS file to execute it or to display its source code to the user. The only thing you can do is to minify your JS file; the browser will still execute it, but for the user it's hard to read it. But it's not hard for anyone to un-minify / tidy it.
EDIT: If you have access to the server, you can configure it to compress your JS file before sending it to the browser - The browser decompresses it for execution. I don't know though if the browser will decompress it too, when the file is viewed directly. If he would, it wouldn't make any sense to compress it (except for slightly faster load times).
You can minify and obfuscate but you cannot deny access to the file because the browser will load it along with your webpage.

You can try using HTTrack. Here is Homepage
Official Description :
It allows you to download a World Wide Web site from the Internet to a local directory, building recursively all directories, getting HTML, images, and other files from the server to your computer. HTTrack arranges the original site's relative link-structure. Simply open a page of the "mirrored" website in your browser, and you can browse the site from link to link, as if you were viewing it online. HTTrack can also update an existing mirrored site, and resume interrupted downloads. HTTrack is fully configurable, and has an integrated help system.

Whenever a researcher submits his paper to a journal website he/she does so by uploading a latex file plus some figures in the format of eps, and after clicking on the submit button the files are converted to one pdf file. Does anyone know how they do that?
Is there a .js file that does that and is pdf.js capable of doing this?
i imagine it's done server-side (after the files have been transmitted to the server) using typical latex-to-pdf workflow tools (e.g., the pdflatex command or similar). i imagine it's theoretically possible to write a javascript library to do it client-side in the browser though i haven't come across anything like that.
Edit: cool! as posted in Jaromanda X's comment above, there is in fact a JavaScript library for this. shows what i know. :p

I want to make it really simple.
I place in an image in the folder, then, it will automatically be added in the gallery as I hit refresh.
I'm not quite sure if this is possible in javascript/jquery.
edit: a plug-in would suffice neatly.
Right now there is a new feature in html5 upcoming but it's not quiet well supported yet by browsers:
See this article:
http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/dndfiles/
If you only want to show your page in InternetExplorer you can access the FileSystemObject
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
(A feature that was available in Firefox for this purpose was removed entirely since version 17 ..)
In general every way to access the file system via JavaScript out of the WebBrowser is illegal by definition (no matter if certain technologies give you the possibility somehow) because it's intended to run sandboxed. So don't expect to find a simple solution to that ...

Have a bunch of pdf files I want to display on a web page (like google books). I do not want them to be possible to download, or at least hinder it.
Are there any open soruce solutions? HTML5, Javascript?

Here is a pdf viewer in javascript and html called pdf.js. However, in order for the pdf to get to the browser, it will still need to be downloaded.
There is no way to display something in a browser without downloading it. It may take a bit of work to find the original asset (looking through the network tab in chrome dev tools) but the original pdf will still be downloaded.
