Description
In metadata page download contents table.
- Status changed from New to Resolved
The download attribute was already being used in all Download buttons. The issue is that only a small number of browser versions support it (Safari and IE don't at all).Firefox only supports it on links to the same origin.
I added a value to the download attribute that matches the name of the entity from the metadata. If/when browsers support this HTML5 feature, that name will be used as a suggested file name in the "save as" dialog.
I also added the target="_blank" attribute so that users who are not using modern FF or Chrome will have the file open in a new tab.
