Web pages have no access to the local file system--for security reasons. 
You wouldn't be able to browser the internet if a web page could 
suddenly flood every folder on your computer with thousands of 
advertisements.  And you say that the web browser is offline, which 
means the web page can't communicate with a server.  So the question is: 
where is the ruby script located?   You see the dilemma?
