Booth, try adding the following tag to your HTML.
<base href="/labs/">
I think the problem is that your app lives under "
http://the.i.ip/labs"; however, all the relative URLs in your app are relative to the base URL, so "
http://the.i.ip"; , in other words, your app is unaware that it lives, not at the root of your URL but under a subfolder of it called "labs". For example, if you have a script tag like this in your HTML:
<script type="text/javascript" src="myjavascript.js"></script>
...then the browser will attempt to retrieve the Javascript relative to the root of your URL here "
http://the.i.ip/myjavascript.js";, when it should be actually trying to get it from"
http://the.i.ip/labs/myjavascript.js";. The same for your CSS and images, and your links will all be relative to the wrong root too. By adding the <base> tag above you tell your app that it's root is actually not "
http://the.i.ip"; but "
http://the.i.ip/labs"; and then it knows to make any relative link in your page relative to "
http://the.i.ip/labs";.

I believe I am stating things accurately but will admit that this whole
area confuses me, and has, for some time.
* With the IWS Wizard I created an IWS application server, say "labs,"
at port 10011. The Wizard also created an http server at port 10021.
* I have a website folder in the IFS at www/labs/htdocs/ with .html,
.js, .json, and .css files.
* I have a reverse proxy added to the landing page at port 80 of
"/labs to
