Of course I know that! However, most users are not overly computer literate
and I would have to give them explicit instructions on what to do. A button
saying "Download" is much easier on the SU. (stupid user). Also, I would
like to have a button that says "Download All Pictures". For either of
these I need code behind the button submit.
