Hello everybody,
I want to see how an HTML page with CSS and a picture I m making will look in an android device .I downloaded mozilla,plug ins, applications ,moved all the files to download folder in android but the page just appears empty (showing an empty page icon). In two pcs the page loads normally either locally either from cloud directly.

Thank you

PS I tried many HTML viewers ,editors,apps etc still doesn't work and the page is a simple static page (no javascript or ASP.NET yet)with one HTML,a CSS and a picture in same folder

Did u check the below code in your chrome browser???
file:///sdcard/

1) Type as it is
2) open your folder path
3) click the html file

I downloaded html viewer and the default html viewer and they worked.It was an error with the root directory but I fixed it manually and had made the correct path. as Karthik Devaraj said.
