I’ve been using the iOS and OSX app Textastic for webpage editing and 
maintenance. While it’s not a wysiwyg editor, it has advantages, particularly 
if you’re running development webpages locally on OSX.

While OSX Textastic does not have a built in browser, the iOS version does. You 
simply click an icon, and the page you’re working on is rendered in the app's 
internal browser. The rendered pages did not seem functional, but you got a 
quick look at the page.

Wrong! The rendered pages are completely functional - including all local 
aspects of JSmol pages. If your entire site is on the iPad in Textastic, the 
site, including JSmol works, albeit slightly slower than Safari. My problem was 
upper/lower case in file names. The internal browser is file name case 
sensitive. Once pages and file names, including file extensions, are brought 
into case agreement, all works well.

While you cannot run local pages on Safari in an iPad, you sure as heck can run 
an entire site locally on an iPad with this internal browser. In fact, if I use 
complete URLs for server script pages, these scripts are executed properly if 
my iPad has an internet connection.
