This bookmarklet to shrink the width has been in my toolbox for a long time: javascript:(function(){%20var%20myBody%20=%20document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];%20var%20myBodyWidth%20=%20myBody.style.width;%20if%20(!myBodyWidth%20||%20myBodyWidth%20===%20'auto'%20||%20myBodyWidth%20===%20'inherit')%20{%20myBody.style.width%20=%20'1200px';%20myBody.style.marginLeft%20=%20'auto';%20myBody.style.marginRight%20=%20'auto';%20myBody.style.position%20=%20'relative';%20myBody.style.cssFloat%20=%20'none';%20}%20else%20{%20myBody.style.width%20=%20'auto';%20myBody.style.position%20=%20'static';%20}%20})();

Thanks that's an interesting trick.

This is beautified if somebody wants to see how it is done.

  function() {
    var myBody = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
    var myBodyWidth = myBody.style.width;
    if (!myBodyWidth || myBodyWidth === 'auto' || myBodyWidth === 'inherit') {
        myBody.style.width = '1200px';
        myBody.style.marginLeft = 'auto';
        myBody.style.marginRight = 'auto';
        myBody.style.position = 'relative';
        myBody.style.cssFloat = 'none';
    } else {
        myBody.style.width = 'auto';
        myBody.style.position = 'static';
    }
  }

This summarizes the web ghetto pretty neatly.
