What is this?

A demo of the HTML5 download attribute. When used on an anchor, this attribute signifies that the resource it points to should be downloaded by the browser rather than navigating to it.

'Create file' creates a .txt file from the contenteditable region's content. This is done by using window.URL.createObjectURL(). That generated file can be named and saved to the user's machine by setting the download attribute on a link.

Browser support: right now, only Chrome dev channel (14.0.835.15+) supports this attribute.

Navigating to a something isn't cool. You know what's cool?
Telling the browser to download it.
