Is it possible to serve web pages across various link styles?

[minitech]

Hello again!

I would like to know whether it is possible to make a program that serves web pages, along with all of their embedded links and external CSS stylesheets or scripts? It would have to serve it across:

a) a USB cable, attached to the serving and client computer
b) a network, directly to other computers.

I would really like it if option A were possible. B is what everything else uses, and I won't try that. I don't have a network.

Please, someone, if it's not possible, tell me no. Otherwise I'll go crazy waiting for an answer.

To "serve" something, you will need a "server". Now if you want to serve web pages, you'll need a web server. And that web server needs to be running in order to serve web pages. Can you have a running web server in a USB thumb drive? I guess not.... So the answer is pretty obvious:
a) No. You cannot use a USB drive as a web server. You can store pages to be served there, but the drive itself cannot serve the pages.
b) Yes. Any computer with the appropriate web server software installed can serve web pages.

No, no, a USB cable. Directly connecting two computers.

No, no, a USB cable. Directly connecting two computers.

And one of the computers is the web server? If the answer is yes, then the answer to your question is also yes.
To use a (special) USB cable to network 2 computers, check this out:

Eidt: This site has better instruction. Be aware, you must use a special USB calble called "USB bridge cable" to do this. Using regular USB cable can damage your computers hardware.

You'll either be in file-transfer mode or network mode. If it's file transfer mode, then it's a simple matter of providing the HTML file along with associated CSS and JS and JPG/GIF/PNG files, preferably under a single directory so it can be viewed easily.

If it's network mode (and this is what I'm guessing you ant), then you'll need a web server anyways because for a machine on any network to serve web pages, it needs a web server so that you can do something like
