A _general_ facility, yes, though it would probably need to be browser-specific for practical reasons (different CSS support). By "general", I mean something that stands on its own and it aimed at helping people in Web surfing in general. Basically, it would be an interactive page (a case for using JavaScript for accessibility!) where the user can select between some basic options or enter options of his own, and get a style sheet back, together with instructions on what to do with it next on different browsers. The difficult part is to decide which features are most important and how to make it as easy as possible to make an informed decision. -- Jukka Korpela, senior adviser TIEKE Finnish Information Society Development Centre http://www.tieke.fi/ My phone +358 9 4763 0397
