Sorry for the newbie questions, I'm curious as to how people working with tbnl/hunchentoot create/maintain their javascript and css files.

I mostly use static css and js files. I put them in the root directory of my website and then create a handler for those specific extensions*. If I have more than a few I simply put them into css/ and js/ folders.

To include them, just generate the relevant HTML code:

(:html (:head (:link :href "myfile.css" :rel "stylesheet" :type "text/css") (:script :src "myfile.js" :type "text/javascript" nil) ...

The last nil creates <script></script> which works better than <script/>

If I need to generate dynamic css or js snippets, I just put them into the HTML page: <style> tags in head and <script> tags in head or body.
