No. A browser is an HTTP client. In order for the application to
work, the client must talk to a server, even if the server is running
on the same physical machine. Unless you write an application that
does not require a server (pure JavaScript), you are out of luck.

This is a contradiction in terms. Forms are submitted via HTTP. In
order to be able to use HTTTP, you need an HTTP server...
