| your WebContent folder or on a subfolder under WebContent. </span> Note |

| it will not be included in the WAR file that is deployed to the server. </li> |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>From the context menu, select <span class="menucascade"><b>New</b> > <b>Other</b> > <b>Web</b> > <b>CSS</b></span>.</span> The New Cascading Style Sheet window appears |
