I have a reasonable workflow for developing an iFrame app for Facebook. It's reasonable because I can test the app on localhost with a local Apache in any one of a myriad of IDEs that support HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (Visual Web Developer, NetBeans, Komodo, Aptana). But what if I want to develop a non-iFrame app with FBML? Is there an ...
I'd like to display a tree on a Facebook page with JavaScript. Therefore there can be no dependencies on frameworks such as jQuery or Ext which won't run on Facebook, at least as far as I know when I last worked on that platform (April 2009). Can anybody recommend a "framework-free" JavaScript/tree library? I have ported some fairly c...
I have a timer that counts down every second. It works great until the user opens up 3 or 4 tabs of the my site, at which point the newest tab's timer goes double or triple speed. I can currently only reproduce the bug in IE8. I was previously using setInterval, and could reproduce the bug in Firefox as well. I'm actually using FBJS (...

I'm implementing Facebook connect for a website. The facebook connect code is inside an iframe. Everything works well but when Facebook is supposed to show a popup dialog (for example FB.Connect.showFeedDialog or FB.Connect.streamPublish) The popup shows inside the iframe.

I am attempting to post form data to my app using Facebook. My form is integrated with a dialog and I am using form.submit() to submit the form. Please see my code. The post data does not appear on the backend (e.g. load-cargo-radio, city-id, train-id), but the fb_sig* data does. Does anyone know if there are any caveats regarding postin...

Hi, Seems to be a known problem, but I didn't find the solution. When your facebook app tries to perform some JS call via loading fb:iframe with JS code, Safari blocks this saying "Unsafe JavaScript attempt to access frame with URL from frame with URL . Domain, names and protocols must match". Is there a way to solve this? ...

I'm developing a game for Facebook. I'm using PHP and FBJS. I'm using addEventListener() to attach events to two buttons. Each button has it's own event handler which is a js function.

When I run the app, the first button I click on fires the addEventListener() and the event handler is invoked as expected.
