inside facebook app when clicked on link refreshes page and shows blank page - facebook

I have a facebook app which has 4 pages. When i try to click on the link it just refreshes the page and shows a blank page. If i click on the link and open in a new tab it works fine opens the other page properly. What might be wrong?

I had to just add target="_top" in the anchor tag to solve the blank page issue.

facebook tab page not showing up

I have recently attempted to make a facebook tab for a client of mine. The problem that i'm having is that the website that should be showing on the page that the tab redirects me to is not showing, and instead it shows this grey box with a sad face icon in the middle. I have never had this happen before.
The link to the tab is https://www.facebook.com/suzannehannafanpage/app_1418157538415227
and the page that it should be showing is http://ctrnetwork.com/profile/suzannehanna
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Added Page Tab not showing up on Page

I've gone through all the steps to create a Page Tab in App Settings, such as this...
http://www.dbswebsite.com/blog/2012/10/17/how-to-creating-a-custom-facebook-tab/
I have both the http and https URLs and entered this URL to add the page tab...
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID&next=YOUR_URL
Included my app ID and the website URL. But the Tab is not showing up on our Facebook page. I've clicked the down arrow to show all tabs on the Facebook page and nothing is there. We just have Photos and Likes. The [+] buttons for each blank tab just show a progress bar repeating and repeating. Nothing seems to be working to get this tab to show up.
Please check whether your app is in sandbox mode. You can change it in app settings - https://developers.facebook.com/apps/APPID/summary - select the disabled button in Sandbox mode.(sandbox mode is enabled by default)

Showing link target in not visible iframe?

I have a link, it looks like that:
link text
The target (shop) is an iframe with the name shop. Clicking the link and showing someplace.html in the iframe only works, if the page that contains the iframe is already loaded.
So my problem is, how can I make it work even if the page that contains the iframe is not loaded? I tried loading the page with the iframe by redirecting to it when the link was clicked using its onclick, that worked, but I still have to load someplace.html afterwards and this is where I am stuck.
Any ideas how to solve that? I can use jQuery or plain JavaScript ... doesnt matter.
Thanks!
If you have a link with a target "shop", you must have a iframe called "shop". It is possible to load the iframe with a blank page if there is no initial content.

facebook login buttons in fancybox load correctly first time only

I'm adding facebook login buttons to fancybox (version 1.3.4) modals (one for join, one for login). The facebook buttons all get instantiated when the page loads, but are hidden. After triggering the fancybox login modal, the facebook buttons get rewritten in the modal and load correctly the first time. However if you close the modal and then reload it a second or third time, there is no facebook login button. It's just blank. When I look at the inline html block
that fancybox based the modal on, the facebook button markup that was generated when the page initially loaded is gone...actually not completely gone, but the button code deep in the iframe is wiped out.
I've seen suggestions to iframe these facebook buttons, so I tried adding an iframe instead of the raw facebook button markup. Note that I am not using the iframe fancybox type and I can't currently do that. When I include <iframe src="/myfacebookbuttonpage"></iframe> in the modal section, again it loads correctly the first time and then after closing the modal, looking at the source I can see the iframe rewritten as <iframe src="about:blank"></iframe> and the innards of the iframe are blank.
Anyone have any idea what's going on here? Or is this attempt to include facebook login buttons in fancybox modals completely wrong for some reason?
It's a bug in fancybox v1.3.2+ when using inline iframes.
As a work around, you may edit the fancybox js file or apply the workaround in your custom fancybox script.

I notice this behaivior today, now using Firefox (have not tried other browsers) when I click the send button that is displayed with the Like button, it opens a new tab with the social plugin on it.
I tested it here and the issue was happening: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
