Is there a way to have the browser display a given HTML page by pasting the HTML code into the address bar and then typing Enter? Browser is Google Chrome. Unfortunately, if I paste the HTML and then hit enter, it redirects to the Google search site... which is not what I want!
I want to paste the HTML code, such as <html><body>...</body></html>
Another option I thought about is to paste something like
javascript:document.write('<html><body>...</body></html>');
but that appends the HTML to the current page, while I want to reset the page contents instead.

To view only the source code, press Ctrl + U on your computer's keyboard. Right-click a blank part of the web page and select View source from the pop-up menu that appears.
Fire up Chrome and jump to the webpage you want to view the HTML source code. Right-click the page and click on “View Page Source,” or press Ctrl + U, to see the page's source in a new tab. A new tab opens along with all the HTML for the webpage, completely expanded and unformatted.
You can use data:text/html, an example:
data:text/html,<h1>Hello World</h1><script>alert('JavaScript works too!');</script>

javascript:document.write("your code here");
Or, to make things even easier if you need different HTML displayed at different times, try putting this in the address bar then entering the HTML into the prompt. This JavaScript that goes in the address bar is called a bookmarklet, and if you need to do this often you can add it as a bookmark/favourite for easy access.
javascript:document.write(prompt('Enter the HTML', ''));
URL: javascript:document.write('foo');
You can display HTML data using DOM manipulation, but you can't directly input HTML.
