Try using this — all you have to do is copy-paste your HTML and it will work. :)

I hope that helps!

Thanks for the fantastic tutorial. It was a great starting point for my own tut about embedding video into custom iFrame tabs and I thanked you in the article:

I’ve also included a fix in my post for the scrollbar issue which seems to work pretty well too.

Hi Jacque – when I go to – which I’m assuming it the correct URL based on the info you provided – I get a “page not found” error.’

Is there another tab URL perhaps?

I feel your pain, still staring at my app in frustration UGHHHH

If you or anyone else app savvy could help me, I’d appreciate it. It’s for the humane society I volunteer for and I don’t want to let them or any of our fans down.

Thank you!!!

Page I’d like the iframe to go to:

Canvas page: tailspets
Tab name: Adopt Me!
Tab URL: WelcomeToTails.html

I have no idea if I even set any of that up correctly. This is all brand new to me and I just volunteered to help create this. If we could get this rolling, our humane society would greatly appreciate it!!! Thanks again!!!

I am just lost with this. So tired of staring at the computer screen & I’m hoping that someone can give me my life back here.

This is the page that I’m trying to make the iframe go to

Canvas Page jaydenr
Tab Name: Home
Tab Url: index.html

Thank you!!! Save my day!

Ahhh, yes that makes sense! I guess I could use the homepage for the Canvas URL.
Sorry for the migraine I’ve probably given you at this point haha.

Yes – consult your webmaster – the canvas URL needs to end with a forward slash “/”

I’m not sure how to go about doing that since I didn’t create the webpage. Is this something I should consult with our webmaster about? (Sorry, I’m brand new at this and still learning!)

Thanks!

In reply to Jacque Smith.

actually, the problem might be that the URL does not end in a “/” – forward slashes are a must since Facebook requires that the canvas URL be a directory. I had this problem when creating my page using Notepad – the Notepad page was fine for the iFrame tab, but not for the canvas URL because I couldn’t save the Notepad page with a forward slash at the end.

This is also why I use the homepage as the canvas URL – for Facebook iFrame tabs anyway – because I don’t really care about the app that’s created with that URL, I just care about the page that has the content being pulled into the iFrame tab itself (which doesn’t need the directory “/”).

Hope that makes sense

This is really great!

Please everybody, if you’re having trouble loading the Tab url content, please make sure you’re leaving out www. in front of you’re Canvas URL. This took me hours to find out :-/
