Node.js not parsing external javascripts correctly

Question

So the problem is that node.js doesn't send my javascript files correctly. I can find them in the html code, but they are not executed by the browser. Those js files don't even appear in the firebug's NET panel when I reload the page.

I am using Express with Jade.

Any ideas how to fix this issue? Or what's causing it?

More information? Are you including the files in your templates? Can we see your templates. You need to have a script(type='text/javascript' src='url') in your template. — Raynos

Make sure you have express.static set properly in app.configure.

app.configure(function(){
  app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');
  app.set('view engine', 'jade');
  app.use(express.bodyParser());
  app.use(express.methodOverride());
  app.use(app.router);
  app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
});

// Also, make sure you have the most updated versions of express and node.js. Both change often.

This shows me where I have to store my custom .js files: "/public". Thanks!
