CSS Tweak

If you wish to tweak the CSS in the reports, you'll probably want to modify the Python Lib directory's robot/htmldata/rebot/common.css file (for Linux, this is usually located in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages; in Windows it's usually C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages). I prefer the Open Sans font, so I add the following at the top of this file:

@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,400italic,700,700italic);

Then, I replace 'Helvetica' with 'Open Sans' in the body's font-family declaration.

Windows Bit-version Assumption

Execution is on a 64-bit version of Windows. To maintain continuity, we will be keeping almost everything "bit-aligned" so that executables and libraries will all be 64-bit.
The one possible exception to this is for Internet Explorer's Selenium Driver. See why that is below.

Configure Environment

Download the appropriate browser drivers:

	#!/usr/bin/env python

	import os
	import platform

	"""
	Utility functions for determining Operating System info at runtime.

	- Module: runtime_os_info
	- Platform: Unix, Mac, Windows

	javascript:(function () {
	var ids = {};
	var found = false;
	$('[id]').each(function() {
	if (this.id && ids[this.id]) {
	found = true;
	console.warn('Duplicate ID #'+this.id);
	}
	ids[this.id] = 1;
	});
