JavaScript and CSS not working in my liferay portlet
I have to use some JavaScript and CSS for my portlet. I am using some datable jQuery for sorting and some interactive display, but it's not working.
Can anyone guide me to where I am making a mistake?
This is my directory structure of docroot where my JS and CSS is kept.
Here is my view.jsp file in which am filling data dynamically.
<%@page import="com.video.util.VideoActionUtil"%>
<%@page import="com.video.database.model.Video"%>
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"
import="com.video.database.model.Video.*"%>

<script src="docroot/js/query.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="docroot/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#companies").dataTable({
"sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
"bJQueryUI": true
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body id="dt_example">
<div id="container">
<div id="demo_jui">
<table id="companies" class="display">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Company name</th>
<th>Address</th>
<th>Town</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<%
long l=10154;
for(Video c: VideoActionUtil.getAllVideo(l)){ %>
<tr>
<td><%=c.getTitle()%></td>
<td><%=c.getDescription()%></td>
<td><%=c.getTypeId()%></td>
</tr>
<% } %>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Maybe it can't locate the CSS and JavaScript?
I have tried with the path href=/css/[filename] but this also doesn't work so I have given docroot/css/ [filename].
Thanks and Regards Bhavik Kama

Answer
Instead of using <link href="docroot/js/jquery-1.2.6.min.js" type="text/javascript"> , you can use :
<link href="/js/jquery-1.2.6.min.js" type="text/javascript">
This is the absolute path for your file, the / means the docroot folder.
Btw, liferay use default loading css and js file which is defined in docroot\WEB-INF\liferay-portlet.xml like this:
<portlet>
<portlet-name>Your portlet name</portlet-name>
<icon>/icon.png</icon>
<indexer-class>Your portlet class</indexer-class>
<instanceable>false</instanceable>
<header-portlet-css>/css/main.css - link to your header css</header-portlet-css>
<footer-portlet-javascript>/js/main.js - link to your header js</footer-portlet-javascript>
<css-class-wrapper>DongBat-SLL-DT-portlet</css-class-wrapper>
</portlet>
So you can change or include js or css from these file to load for header.
