  In my view it is impossible to automate this process. My best tip is
  to use a browser which allow you to turn off stylesheets completely.
  Opera is a good example. One might think that Lynx - otherwise an
  excellent testing tool - could be used, but there are certain issues
  regarding images and stylesheets that can only be reliably tested
  using a graphical browser.

  Opera in 'user mode' is our favourite testing tool for 6.1. There are
  also some Javascript-based "favlets" out there, but some of these
  suffer from certain errors (they only turn -some- CSS off, and not
  all) and should be used with care.
