We use the Stylus extension for Chrome rather than a bookmarklet, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it is persistent, so the styles remain applied if you refresh the page or navigate to another one. Also, the styles are applied to content that the bookmarklets cannot reach, such as iframes. This discussion does raise the question of how you would know if one or more of the four style changes is not effective on some content. When I enable Stylus or use a bookmarklet I can get a general impression that the spacing has increased, but I can't say that I have ever verified that all four types of spacing have been applied to any content, let alone every piece of content. Is it even possible for a tool to tell that it has not been able to override some of the styles? Steve Green Managing Director Test Partners Ltd -----Original Message----- From: Patrick H.
