21 Fix "Save as preferred search" when logged in
-------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------
22 Logged In problems
-------------------------------------------------------------

22.1 Fix red text on I.E. loggedin
Issue:
(On I.E. browser only) when logged in and then choosing to search an index, the search screen font was bold and red.

Troubleshooting:
Examined the source of the pertinent files and could not determine what was causing the problem.

Solution: wrapped the page content in a division style for black normal font.

22.2 Fix Patron Record link in sidebar
Issue:
The "return to patron record" link in the sidebar would take patron to the log in screen rather than back to the patron record.


Solution:
Used the token
to make it work properly. This generates a
button rather than a simple link. It worked but caused another problem:

The "logout" token above the patron record button
unfortunately does NOT generate a similar button but creats a normal link
that now looked strange and seemed to imply that clicking the patron record
button right below it would log one out.

Solution:
Using a button I had created for the last catalog release, I created a
logout button link which works fine and looks better.
