It’s impossible to call assets within the html page _ **from the phone** _ You need to do this via cdn ---

I tried your html file after adding it in my project and this is the view from my phone ![IMG_20210920_092612](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/b/bb4fc9542d8d69bd75c870fae29e10c0ccfb5dae.jpeg) Can you clearly point out what is wrong? ---

@muneer Normally in w3schools html editor and viewer when you input a number in those text input boxes, the recommend sample size is supposed to change. But in thunkable it does not. ---

Just made a quick test. It seems there is a problem preventing the JavaScript functions to run from the asset file. However, if you run the same HTML from a URL it runs file. I uploaded your file to a DTW folder [https://3ynihrnjb7v5zcebdgtvag-on.drv.tw/ThunkableTest/UserFiles/daniel\_larry.html](https://3ynihrnjb7v5zcebdgtvag-on.drv.tw/ThunkableTest/UserFiles/daniel_larry.html) And changed the URL of the `Web Viewer` to this URL and it worked OK. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/0/006cc594d066267cd224bc1b78fb0973341d134d.png) Please check it this way and let me know. ---

It’s Is possible to access assets with the webviewer like that at this time. You must use a cdn or other way to bring in external files. Or You can include the code in your HTML file. ---

Hi Thunkers, I’m trying to upload a html file as an App. I’ve uploaded it as an asset and linked to the file in webviewer. It shows in the editor however not on my phone when I test it in the app, or as a WebApp. Any ideas? Here is the project: [https://x.thunkable.com/copy/9e2b23503ce1b051955ce2868c60a350](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/9e2b23503ce1b051955ce2868c60a350) ---

Can you provide more information? If you are trying to use the HTML file from inside your app then you need to know that at the moment this option has a problem (at least in Android) and waiting to be fixed. ---

Yes I am trying to use the HTML file from the App assets however if there is another way to do it? I saw that possibly it can be uploaded to github however when I tried to do this it would go to the directory page rather than opening the actual html code that I uploaded. ---

For GitHub to act as a web page you need to create or choose a `repository` (folder) and then go to `Pages` tab and select this repository to be your web page. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/e/aed6fda7d137ecbdfab98b9ed59c0afa01d4b894.png) ---
