To load a web page by its URL use the Browser.loadURL() method. The following code demonstrates how to load http://www.google.com web page: 

browser.loadURL("http://www.google.com");

Same method can be used for loading a HTML file from a local file system. Instead of URL you just need to provide absolute path to HTML file. For example:

browser.loadURL("C:\\path\\index.html");

The web page will be loaded asynchronously, so there's no guarantee that Google web page will be loaded completely when the method returns.
