failed to load javascript library, but css is loaded.

whereas

UI.addStyleSheet window "jquery.terminal.min.css" loads from "static/css/jquery.terminal-2.22.0.css" when using jsStatic = Just "static", on the other hand
UI.loadFile "text/javascript" "jquery.terminal.min.js", when js file placed in static does not show any effect

I strongly suspect this is caused by the issue I mentioned in #249:

In theory, loadDirectory looks like it could help with [loading JavaScript libraries], but it also seems like I can use it only after the HTML page has been loaded …

Note that loadFile returns an URL where the file can now be reached via HTTP, but doesn't do anything to the browser window. You would still need to add a <script> element with this URL in the src attribute. Does that help? If not, could you post a minimal example that does not work as intended?
