I am developing a Facebook iFrame application for an existing site. I load the web page using the <iframe> code. I also have a tab section, with tab-items Home, InviteFriends etc. But there is a lot of empty space between the tabs and the loaded web page.
This is my index.php file
<?php
require_once 'appinclude.php';
$user_id = $facebook->require_login();
?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
<head></head>
<body>
<script src="http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<div id="FB_HiddenIFrameContainer" style="display:none; position:absolute; left:-100px; top:-100px; width:0px; height: 0px;"></div>
<fb:serverfbml style="height:200px; width:760px;">
<script type="text/fbml">
<fb:fbml>
<fb:tabs>
<fb:tab-item href='http://my_site_ip/my_app_folder/' title='Home' selected='true' target="_TOP"/>
<fb:tab-item href='http://my_site_ip/my_app_folder/fav.php' title='My Favorites' target="_TOP"/>
<fb:tab-item href="http://my_site_ip/my_app_folder/invite.php" title="Invite Friends" target="_TOP"/>
</fb:tabs>
</fb:fbml>
</script>
</fb:serverfbml>
<?php echo '<iframe name="qantas" height="640px" width="740px" frameborder="0" resizeable="true" scrolling="no" style="border:none" src="my_url" target="_TOP"></iframe>';?>
<script type="text/javascript">
FB.init("my_api_key", "../channel/xd_receiver.htm");
FB_RequireFeatures(["CanvasUtil"], function(){
FB.XdComm.Server.init("../channel/xd_receiver.htm");
FB.CanvasClient.startTimerToSizeToContent();
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
And also when I click on the Invite Friends tab, I get a black box on my screen above the loaded web page in the place of the empty space. And if I click the black area, it navigates to the Invite page. How to remove this black box, and navigate directly to the invite page?
This is my invite.php file:
<?php
require_once 'appinclude.php';
$user_id = $facebook->require_login();
?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
<head></head>
<body>
<script src="http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php"
type="text/javascript">
</script>
<fb:serverfbml style="width: 776px;">
<script type="text/fbml">
<fb:fbml>
<fb:tabs>
<fb:tab-item href='http://apps.facebook.com/my_canvas_url/' title='Home' selected='true' target="_TOP"/>
<fb:tab-item href='http://apps.facebook.com/my_canvas_url/fav.php' title='My Favorites' target="_TOP"/>
<fb:tab-item href="http://apps.facebook.com/my_canvas_url/invite.php" title="Invite Friends" target="_TOP"/>
</fb:tabs>
<fb:request-form action="http://my_localhost_ip/FacebookApp/"
method="POST"
invite="true"
type="myWEb"
target="_parent"
content="<fb:name uid='$user_id' useyou='false'></fb:name> is a member of myWeb.com and would like to share that experience with you.To register, simply click on the 'Register' button below.<fb:req-choice url='http://apps.facebook.com/my_canvas_url/index.php' label='Register'/>">
<fb:multi-friend-selector showborder="false" actiontext="Invite your Facebook Friends to use myWeb" />
</fb:request-form>
</fb:fbml>
</script>
</fb:serverfbml>
<script type="text/javascript">
FB.init("my_api_key", "../channel/xd_receiver.htm");
</script>
</body>
</html>
In an iframe application, I solved the black (or grey) layer problem by redirecting the client via javascript, using
window.top.location.replace("http://apps.facebook.com/canvas_url/page_with_dark_layer");
Seems the target attribute doesnt work with tab-items. So I used a combination of html and css as suggested by a member of Facebook developer forum. This is the link http://forum.developers.facebook.com/viewtopic.php?pid=121903 from where I got the code and changed my app accordingly. The person has given css code to make the link look like Facebook tabs. So anyone having problem with this grey box while using Tab items can make use of that code.

I am about to start a work on a alert box or Modal, that will Pop-up when the sites loads and after 10 seconds it disappear.
I am looking for a html/css solution, if possible.
Can any body lend me an idea on how to achieve it?
Here's a working example based on what you need as a modal popup.
<html>
<head>
<title>Model popup box</title>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready( function() {
$('#modal').delay(10000).fadeOut();
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id=modal > Hello, i am a modal popup </div>
</body>
</html>
I wanted to make a facebook app with an image which has 2 buttons and under the image there would be a video from youtube. But since coding is new to me I need your help. I tried different codes but none of them worked. the video is not appearing at all.
And heres the final code I came up with:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com /2008/fbml">
<script type="text/javascript">
function framesetsize(w,h){
var obj = new Object;
obj.width=w;
obj.height=h;
FB.Canvas.setSize(obj);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="framesetsize(520,3300)"> <!--specify the height and width for resize-->
<div id="fb-root">
<div align="center"><img src="http://fb.joma-sport.hu/jomafiuk4.jpg" width="520" height="390" border="0" usemap="#Map" /></p>
<map name="Map" id="Map">

<area shape="rect" coords="248,43,414,339" href="3.htm" target="_self" alt="Aluminio" />
</map></div>
</div>
<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="650" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUaxZLJ0-28" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

</div>
<!--this div is required by the Javascript SDK--><script type="text/javascript" src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>

Any help would be appreciated!!!!
12minutes later.....BAAAAAH got the answer..Thanks anyway.. :)
The solution:
On youtube click the Share button (which is under your video), than click the Embed button. After that you'll get the code which you write in your HTML. I also checked Use old embed code, and I used that code in my HTML. Sorry if this wasn't clear. My first language is not English..but I hope I could help/
I have this page, the superfish menu does not show over the google earth plugin but under!
This problem is happening in IE8 and Google Chrome.
Any Ideas?
To run the following code run it under localhost (that is the domain registered with the google earth api key)
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('ul.sf-menu').superfish();
});
var ge;
google.load("earth", "1");
function init() {
google.earth.createInstance('map3d', initCallback, failureCallback);
}
function initCallback(instance) {
ge = instance;
ge.getWindow().setVisibility(true);
}
function failureCallback(errorCode) {
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="init()">
<ul id="sample-menu-1" class="sf-menu">
<li class="current">

<ul>

It is not possible to apply z-index layering of arbitrary HTML content on top of the Google-Earth-Plugin window. There is a long standing feature request for that functionality here:
http://code.google.com/p/earth-api-samples/issues/detail?id=9
In the comments to that request there are workarounds and demos posted involving an IFRAME shim, but that works only for iframe boxed content. Due to low-level details of how plugins work within browsers, I think it's unlikely z-index layering of arbitrary content over the plugin window will be possible anytime soon, especially across all browsers.
This is my first time working on a facebook app. I created an iframe app (i.e selected 'iframe' as the 'canvas type' when registering the app). I have this situation where there is a multi friend selector form in the sidebar of the app (which has a width of about 200px).
Screenshot:
The relevant code for generating that form is as follows (except the html tag which is part of the app layout):
<html xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
// some layout markup here for the whole app....
<div id="sidebar"> // place a condensed friend selector here
<fb:serverFbml>
<script type="text/fbml">
<fb:fbml>
<fb:request-form action="invite_url" content="
Hey! a form!" invite="true" method="post" type="sample">
<fb:multi-friend-selector actiontext="Invite your friends to check out this site" condensed="true" exclude_ids="" max="20" showborder="true" style="width: 300px;" />
<fb:request-form-submit label="Send" />
</fb:request-form>
</fb:fbml>
</script>
</fb:serverFbml>
</div>
When i click on "Send invitations", i get a confirm dialog box but it appears within the iframe in which the multi-friend selector is placed (thus breaking the layout) and not on the parent iframe where the main app loads.
Screenshot:
I tried the following code (where i remove the fb:serverFbml tag):
<fb:fbml>
<fb:share-button></fb:share-button>
<fb:request-form type="my_app" method="post" invite="true" content="Form content" action="/action">
<fb:multi-friend-selector actiontext="Invite your friends to check out this site" condensed="true" exclude_ids="" max="20" showborder="true" style="width: 300px;"></fb:multi-friend-selector>
<fb:request-form-submit label="Send" />
</fb:request-form>
</fb:fbml>
Here the share button is displayed but the selector form is empty (nothing is rendered inside the fb:multi-friend-selector tag)
I am using the FB initialization code as described here: link text
How can i fix this issue? Is there something missing in my fb api code?
I had a similar problem and found a solution here:
http://alexandershapovalov.com/facebook-multi-friend-selector-dialog-width-is-incorrect-73/
Try changing your fb:serverFbml tag to the following:
<fb:serverFbml width="200px">
Note that this doesn't work if you set the with in a style attribute and you may find that you need more than 200px to fit the dialog.
Is there a way to add an iframe to a facebook page without having to do the onClick functionality?
Right now I am using this code and it works fine except you have to click the link to make it show the iframe?
<!-- Start iframe CODE -->
Like me to show the iFrame link!
<fb:visible-to-connection>
<a onClick="outside_location.setInnerFBML(link_1);" style="cursor: pointer;">Click here to show the iFrame!</a>
</fb:visible-to-connection>
<div id="outside_location"></div>
<fb:js-string var="link_1">
<fb:iframe height="500" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width:100%; height: 1400px; border:none" src="http://apps.ignitesocialmedia.com/php/facebook/sandbox/tabs/iframe.php"></fb:iframe>
</fb:js-string>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
var outside_location = document.getElementById('outside_location');
</script>
<!-- End iframe CODE -->
It seems as though this has been done in a couple places but I cannot figure it out.
