node.js - can't load my files with express3

I am using express3 and when I'm trying to load my html/javascript/css files it loads the html without the css.

I'm using this code to load the files - 

express.get('/', function (req, res) {
    res.sendfile("index.html");
    res.sendfile("style.css");
    res.sendfile("script.js");
});

So what can I do?

First, link the css and javascript to the page via tags in the header of your HTML

<link rel='stylesheet' href='/path/to/style.css' />
<script src='/path/to/javascript.js'></script>

Be sure that you're using the static middleware in your app.use() section, this will tell Express where to find your static files. 

app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));

Now, your Express app should serve your static css and js files.

You link to css and javascript from the html page...

Try looking at the static files example app in the express github repo: https://github.com/visionmedia/express/tree/master/examples/static-files

Basically you make another http request for static files (.js, .css)
