In response to Denic Anson, Browsers that don't support CSS (Lynx for example) ignore style sheet information. Netscape 4.0 allows you to disable the use of style sheets. Explorer 4.0 is more complex. It allows for the provision of user style sheets. Items specified in the users style sheet will override author defined styles sheets. This can be a problem though if the authors uses style names or elements not included in the user styles sheets. Explorer does provide partial disabling of author style elements by checking ignore color, ignore font size and ignore font style in the accessibility options. It doesn't allow the disabling of all style elements in the author styles sheet, most importantly positioning attributes.
