I have come accross the static HTML app for facebook pages that allows us to build a landing page made up of HTML, CSS and even Javascript. eg. http://www.facebook.com/divethegap?sk=app_190322544333196

Now is it possible to interact with the parent window. I’d like to change the overall background to something else if possible, preferably an image from our website.

As a test I tried $('body', window.parent.document).css('background-color', '#888');

Nothing hapenned. I can imagine many reason why facebook would limit or restrict entirely the ability to ammend the parent window, but in the case of CSS for the parent I wondered if it were possible. It would certainly brighten up the overall theme considerably.

    It is because of cross domain access restrictions you cannot access any thing from the parent window if it is not in the same domain.
