Question

community. I am at a bit of a loss here. I am relatively new to NodeJS, and the runtime environment is acting in a way I didn\'t expect. It turns out this has been a problem for

Because your server-side code is written to handle all.http requests and deliver the same html content, regardless of the path.

try adding some if-else logic inside your handler, and deliver appropriate file based on the request path.

something like:

if(req.path === "" || req.path === "index.html")
     fs.read htnl file here
else if (req.path==="my.css")
     fs.read css file

learn to use browser dev tools (F12), which shows you exactly which requests the browser is making, what it sends, what it gets back - amongst many other things.
