I am coaching my son's flag football team this winter and I'd like to make a little one pager app with jquery which will display and animate for the team some plays during huddles. I have been researching this quite a bit and it seems there is no way for safari to load local files. Some have suggested using goodreader, the app, but according to their manual they use a simplified browser rather than safari. 

Not sure what else to try. The iPad is wifi only using ios5.
