Downloading and the Return of Annotation History

The annotation history links have been missing from the NMPDR Protein Page for some time. This is now fixed.

We now have the ability to download search results to a tab-delimited file. On each search results page (for example, this one), there is now a link titled Click here to download the full search results. Clicking the link will open a download-file box and then download the search results to a specified location on your workstation. The downloaded text is cleaned of links and does not include the button columns. There is one anomaly. In Firefox, the OK button in the download dialog box appears disabled, but will work properly when clicked. (Even Tobi does not know how to fix this problem, so I don't expect an answer soon.) In the meantime, this is a useful feature I have wanted for some time and is worth keeping.
