I believe the browser is looking for those assets FROM the root of the webserver. This is difficult because it is easy to start developing on your machine WITHOUT actually using a webserver ( just by loading local files through your browser)

You could start by packaging your html and css/js together?

a directory structure something like:

-yourapp
  - index.html
  - assets
    - css
    - js
      - myPage.js

Then your script tag (from index.html) could look like

<script src="assets/js/myPage.js"></script>

An added benifit of packaging your html and assets in one directory is that you can copy the directory and give it to someone else or put it on another machine and it will work great.

This is an old post but     You can reference the working directory  the folder the  html file is located in  with     and the directory above that with       Example directory structure    html public  - index html - script2 js - js     - script js   To load script js from inside index html    lt script type  text javascript  src    js script js  gt    This goes to the current working directory  location of index html  and then to the js folder  and then finds the script   You could also specify     to go one directory above the working directory  to load things from there  But that is unusual
