29/11/2007: Timeline change chronology button. Although it is easy to copy a Timeline table into Excel, highlight it all and then
click the (A->Z) sort button, Timeline now presents a button to reverse the table for you. Just another touch to make life easier.
13/11/2007: Timeline in table format - DONE. I've been planning to do this for a long time, but only just did it now (thanks to
Firefox and IE not liking my original solution). Timeline results now append in table format rather than in text format. This simply
means that you can just highlight, copy and paste the results of a Timeline output directly into Microsoft Excel for analysis, making
graphs, etc. This is something that you could already do with PROFILE or MeSH It results, where everything gets returned together in table format,
but it just took some fiddling to to make the results field append line-by-line in table format. (Checked in IE7, Firefox 2.0.0.8,
Safari for Windows, and Opera 9.2 - my favourite browser).
