/**
 * Allow cross origin to access our /public directory from any site.
 * Make sure this header option is defined before defining of static path to /public directory
 */
expressApp.use('/public',function(req, res, next) {
    res.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
    // Request headers you wish to allow
    res.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept");
    // Set to true if you need the website to include cookies in the requests sent
    res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials', true);
    // Pass to next layer of middleware
    next();
});


/**
 * Server is about set up. Now track for css/js/images request from the 
 * browser directly. Send static resources from "./public" directory. 
 */
expressApp.use('/public', express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));

If you want to set Access-Control-Allow-Origin to a specific static directory you can set the following.
