Note: By my own free admission, this refactoring: http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/679210/webpage-without-server is a better example of how to accomplish this.
Although certainly not practical, or desirable, for every situation, it is possible to deploy a web page that is self-contained. That is to say, all that it needs is within a single .htm file.
And I'm not talking about a pure HTML, or even HTML and CSS file, but even one that uses jQuery and jQuery UI plugins. This is done by referencing CDN versions of those libraries and, where jQuery code is used that is not available from Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, or the jQuery foundation, copying the entire jQuery UI code directly into the .htm page, such as I do here with the goMap jQueryUI plugin, which you can download from http://www.pittss.lv/jquery/gomap/.
The CSS used can be added in the page within a style block, although considered gauche by CSS whisperers.
Again, this single-page, standalone, no hosting technique is not for complicated, enterprise-strength web sites or apps, but it is workable for delivering useful (or just fun) data. As an example, here is the entire code needed to copy and paste into a file, save as a .htm file, and double-click it to run - no installation on IIS or Apache or whatever required. To "deploy," attach it to an email.
When you run the code / htm file below, you will see a map of the USA with pushpins on each city that has an NFL team. Click the pushpin to see the name of the team that plays its home games at the pushpin. Here's what it looks like:

as the cocked hats are wont to say). The "html" property is the fun part, where you can add
any HTML you want (pictures, etc.) Here I just have it show the name of the team that plays at the location
of the pushpin (or teams, in one instance). A little Bucky Dent-esque, I feel the NFL is the Packers and 31 other teams. -->

I am in the process of morphing from a software developer into a portrayer of Mark Twain. My monologue (or one-man play, entitled "The Adventures of Mark Twain: As Told By Himself" and set in 1896) features Twain giving an overview of his life up till then. The performance includes the relating of interesting experiences and humorous anecdotes from Twain's boyhood and youth, his time as a riverboat pilot, his wild and woolly adventures in the Territory of Nevada and California, and experiences as a writer and world traveler, including recollections of meetings with many of the famous and powerful of the 19th century - royalty, business magnates, fellow authors, as well as intimate glimpses into his home life (his parents, siblings, wife, and children).
Peripatetic and picaresque, I have lived in eight states; specifically, besides my native California (where I was born and where I now again reside) in chronological order: New York, Montana, Alaska, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Idaho, and Missouri.
I am also a writer of both fiction (for which I use a nom de plume, "Blackbird Crow Raven", as a nod to my Native American heritage - I am "½ Cowboy, ½ Indian") and nonfiction, including a two-volume social and cultural history of the U.S. which covers important events from 1620-2006: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/blackbirdcraven
