node.js - Serve javascript file from public folder with express js -

i have partial hooking scripts. links scripts following:

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.4.js"></script> 

there 1 javascript script made myself in partial. unable serve it. i'm attempting:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/myjavascript.js>"></script> 

where myjavascript.js belongs javascripts belongs public. error here 404 not found.

please note scripts online source work fine , being served in same partial. can assure spelling correct , file exists @ src location. doing wrong?

my error message attaches strange extension too. not sure if that's clue or not.

you have typo in code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/myjavascript.js>"></script>                                 '>' not belong here --^ 

the corrected code be

<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/myjavascript.js"></script>
