Question

The fbml below generates an invite form using a multi-friend-selector. Everything works, except the Skip button. No matter what url I place in the action attribute, the action in the rendered form is always blank. This of course causes the Skip button to 404.

<div class="invite"> 
    <fb:serverFbml width="626">
        <script type="text/fbml">
            <fb:request-form
                action="default.asp"
                target="_top"
                method="POST" 
                invite="true" 
                type="My Application" 
                content="<fb:req-choice url='facebook.com/somepage' label='Authorize my Application'/>">
                <fb:multi-friend-selector showborder="true" email_invite="false" cols="4" rows="1" actiontext="Invite your friends to use My Application!">
                </fb:multi-friend-selector>
            </fb:request-form>
        </script>
    </fb:serverFbml>
</div>

Edit: On closer inspection, it looks like the 404 it goes to is http://www.facebook.com/plugins/serverfbml.php?. Found this as the only 404 response when tracking in Fiddler.

Update

Official response from Facebook on my bug report; they’ve closed it. Only took five months :).

Thanks for the report.

As we are in the process of
deprecating FBML/FBJS, we will not be
adding additional features or fixing
current bugs. If you are creating an
application on facebook.com, please
implement your application using our
supported APIs, SDKs and Social
Plugins. Using these you can embed
many of the same social features
available in FBML.
