    The above URL uses jQuery.

    When I click "CSV", a file will be downloaded. But the URL is shown as

    blob:https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/2dd06490-61c3-43d1-a7a2-e4763440a0bd

    I don't understand what this means. When I go to "https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/2dd06490-61c3-43d1-a7a2-e4763440a0bd", I see "Page Not Found".

    Does anybody know how the CSV file is downloaded?

    They're using datatables and the standard buttons to export the data already imported into the table.
