My facebook landing page work's when you go to the Canvas Page
https://apps.facebook.com/texansforpropeight/ but when I click the iframe tab I named welcome on my page The landing page does not show up. I have followed all instructions and have read countless blogs and tutorials and cannot seem to find the problem. If anyone has any clues, please let me know.
These are my settings.

I bet the tab url needs to be a fill URL. Instead of index.php probably need http://www.texanforprop8.com/index.php or whatever it is.

Whats up guys,
So i'm trying to add a Tab to my facebook page, i followed all the instructions on developers.facebook.com/docs/pages/tabs
But when i click on the tab, it's not displaying anything. At first i thought it may have been the link so i tested it with paypal and it still shows up blank. I added it as a canvas and a page tab.
Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/PersiaGrai/app/481278078749813/?ref=page_internal
Does anyone know where i may have went wrong?
Facebook loads apps into the iframe by submitting a hidden form with method=post.
Your URL answers o.k., if it is requested via GET – but for a POST request, it simply answers with a 404 Not Found. (So you will need to go investigate why now.)
I've seen landing pages within Facebook that are a working version of a different website with in the landing page, but now that I'm trying to show somebody else an example of this, I can't find one. Does anyone know of an example of this and can you share the link with me? Thanks.
I believe this is what you're looking for:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/appsonfacebook/pagetabs/
Okay, allow me to say first off that I am working on developing my first FB app/page tab at the moment. I'm not looking for anything fancy yet, just workability.
That being said, I have managed to create a FB app that loads from the hosting requested, and displays it under the app page. I have also made it so that I can add it as a page tab to FB pages. What I am having an issue with is that clicking on the page tab for the app, it does not show any content in the iframe on the page, though it shows on the canvas page for the app.
So, my question is, do you have any ideas as to why it might be showing on a canvas iframe and not the page tab iframe? I am currently guessing that it has to do with how the signed request is processed, but am not completely sure. I am using the PHP SDK for FB given here: https://github.com/facebook/php-sdk/ for the FB-related functions, and am tracing through that currently for where I might be going wrong.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks. =)
I had the same problem and was able to solve it by providing different (http vs https) URLs for the secure and non-secure canvas and page tab URLs. Just remove post the non-secure URL for the non-secure canvas/page tab URL fields. I believe this is because Facebook doesn't check to see if the user has secure browsing turned on until after they have logged in.
You could try to change the order of appear of the app tab; it worked for me.
I'm on a bit of a deadline and I'm having a problem with the canvas app I designed as a tab on my facebook page.
Using Dreamweaver to create the canvas I have set pictures that link to external websites. Unfortunately, when you click on the linking pictures, the websites are loaded within the canvas area on facebook. I would like them to redirect the entire page to the website link.
Forgive me if this is a ridiculous question, I'm rather new at this whole thing.
UPDATE Okay, figured it out. To anyone who's just starting out like me, all you have to do to have it redirect to a new page is put target="_top"></a> just at the end of your link in the webpage code.
since facebook changed the whole fbml, apps and fan page stuff I've got a bit confused.
I need to make a welcome page (tab) for users who has not liked the fan page and a start page for users who have liked the fan page.
What should I use; apps, fbml, iframe etc.? How/where should I start?
Just need someone to point me in the right direction :)
For now you can still use the FBML tab

Add it to your page, type in some code, make it a tab on your page and select it as the default landing page (in your page settings panel)
