Per the new profile/fan page tab rule that eliminates the iFrame option, is there a way to dynamically generate content for a given tab? I've seen methods that wrap a canvas app (but requires a user to click to load content), but I want to show updated content thats managed on my servers. I thought you could also update the FBML using the Graph API, but haven't been able to find anything on that.

Thanks, Steve

A: 

You can display static FBML on Application Tabs which is dynamically generated, you just can't auto-load anything that's dynamic on the client side (until the user clicks something)

You'll need to make sure you setup the application to be installable to pages as well.

I think the Application route is what's going to work. I don't want the app to be installed anywhere else, so I've made it only installable to pages and not users and not submitting it to the directory.

That's the pretty standard "pattern" for implementing what you're talking about.
