Facebook recently announced that they would be discontinuing their support of the Static FBML app in favor of iframes.
From a marketing perceptive this is actually some great news as FBML was pretty restrictive on what was and wasn't allowed within Facebook.
I decided to investigate how much of pain is involved in setting up a custom tab on Facebook using an iframe. As it turns out, it's actually not to difficult.
Set Up Your iFrame Page on Your Own Server
For this to work you will need a webpage on your server that you will be iframing into your new custom tab. That means you must have the HTML living outside of Facebook on your own server. Try and make this content 540px wide. Anything wider will not show up well in your custom tab.
Head to http://facebook.com/developers
Allow the developer application if you have not already done so.
Click on Set Up New App
