nodejs Express html

When I use Express framework,I put my ".html" files into folder views,then put ".js" and ".css" files into public.When I run my application,I can get the js and css,but I cann't get the articlecontent.html.The following is my page index.html.

<div class="nav-collapse">
    <ul class="nav">
        <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
        <li class="active"><a href="articlecontent.html" target="home">Content</a></li>
    </ul>
    <div id="container" class="container" style="height: inherit">
        <iframe id="home" name="home" scrolling="no">content</iframe>
    </div>
</div>

app.get("/",function index(req,res){
    res.render("index.html");
});

The views folder is typically meant to store template files; in other words, that folder contains the files that you send out using res.render().

If you want to serve a non-template HTML file, like your articlecontent.html, you should place it in the public folder, so it will be served by the express.static middleware (the same goes for your index.html: if you don't require it to be rendered by a templating engine, you can move it to the public folder as well).
