Facebook Download Album

Whoops, I just found a bunch of issues. Feel free to install it, but it won't always work properly or play nice with znerp's script. Fixing imminently. It fails when the View Photo in Album puts a "view this photo..." link in. It also doesn't like "photos of..." albums. For some reason it jumps into the actual album the second photo is in and downloads that instead of downloading the entire "Photos of" album.

This script is based on znerp's View Photo in Album script, which helped me
out a lot.

Features:
-Works on any album (much as znerp's script) that you can navigate back and forth in, even if you can't access the main album index.
-Outputs an HTML index including the photos' captions, tagged people, and comments. As a bonus, I've emulated Facebook's script that tells you where each person is tagged: roll over the listed names to view.
-Requires a separate download manager addon or program. Tested with DownThemAll!

Use:
Just navigate to any picture on Facebook and click the new "Download album" link at the top. It will then proceed to loop through all photos in the same album as the original photo. The output will be in the form of a series of links and a textarea with a bunch of HTML. Copy and paste the text into a .HTML file on your computer. Then, run a download manager such as DownThemAll! that can spider a webpage and download every file linked; the default settings on DTA work great. Put the images in the same folder as the HTML file.

Caveats: Doesn't work on the new facebook format yet.
