Loading jQuery with NodeJS

Question

I have a working HTML file with some javascript in it. I use NodeJS to send it to the client using fs.readFile() and response.write(). The problem with this is that, although the HTML renders fine, the javascript (which includes jQuery) doesn't load.

Don't say "loading jQuery with NodeJS". NodeJS shouldn't load it, the browser should. — Janus Troelsen

uh, are you ending your response? response.end(). Try using a framework. I like connect, but express is easier. These have static file handlers. — beatgammit

Code... post your source code where you are doing this magic. — yojimbo87

Probably because you only have one case for the fsreadFile(), mainly for your html. You must also tell it that when you request something called jquery.js (or w/e), to read that specific file and send it back. But better to using something like express framework! — rafalio

You really shouldn't manually do "fs.readFile()" and "response.write()". Have a look at "lightnode" for serving static files: https://github.com/ngspinners/lightnode
