Facebook Developers

problem solved.
if your interested, just add this js to the page

<script type="text/javascript">
  var template_bundle_id = 53334391407;
  var template_data = {
     "cal":"Cal Smith"
     };
  var body_general = 'body test';
  Facebook.showFeedDialog(template_bundle_id,template_data,body_general);
</script>

here's the my pages code:

<?php
//connect to fb
require_once("header.php");
?>
<a href="<?=$profileurl?>"><b><font size="5"><br><br>Now click here and checkout your wall.</font></b></a>

<script type="text/javascript">
  var template_bundle_id = 53334391407;
  var template_data = {
     "cal":"Cal Smith"
     };
  var body_general = 'body test';
  Facebook.showFeedDialog(template_bundle_id,template_data,body_general);
</script>

After copy+pasting that and it still doesn't work, all I can think of is that your not filling in the info about your "templatised-action" thing correctly - double check that (did you make it in the create templatised action tool? Thats what I used)

header.php is as follows:

<?php
//This file should be in a require_once() on every page

// <This stuff here is the only thing required, I don't know what the equivelant is in .Net or ASP or whatever your using, sorry.>
//connect to Facebook API
include_once 'facebook_api/facebook.php';
$api_key = 'ac47dcbfc12f08ef2a5d1c6d5674344a';
$secret  = '42d67ad424771d415c23c28fa623dcf8';
$facebook = new Facebook($api_key, $secret);
$facebook->require_frame();
$user = $facebook->require_login();
// </important stuff>

//some handy stuff
$user_details=$facebook->api_client->users_getInfo($user, array('last_name','first_name','profile_url','proxied_email','pic','pic_big','status'));
$firstname=$user_details[0]['first_name'];
$lastname=$user_details[0]['last_name'];
$profileurl=$user_details[0]['profile_url'];
$proxyemail=$user_details[0]['proxied_email'];
$pic=$user_details[0]['pic'];
$picbig=$user_details[0]['pic_big'];
$status=$user_details[0]['status'];
$status=$status["message"];
?>

I still don't understand your problem,
Your not using PHP right?     -well then I can't help you, I only know php.
Your having a problem connecting to the API?     -perhaps you should (re)read the documentation from Facebook for the language your using, and test out some basic api calls before going into depth with stuff like this

Hope that helps

Thanks for the help Captain
I have been able to create one-line feeds as told by Bar_Code through the Facebook API for .NET. But I need short sized stories that's the reason why I am going for Feed forms. Here I am trying for a solution that does work only with js (no PHP involved). Was the PHP code you just required for the js you finally found working?

Thankyou Bar_Code for your reply. The problem you mentioned in the first para is exactly the situation right now I am in.
These are the two links I tried and failed:
http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/ind … Feed_Forms
http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/ind … _an_IFrame
When I try as said in the first link it gives me a XML Parsing error from the server side while i click submit inside the form tag with fbtype attribute
When I try the second it gives a client side error saying "FB.Facebook.showFeedDialog" is not a function. If i try the way Captainhamsbe has said then the error will be "Facebook is not defined".
Well I have tried my application is an iframe application I ve tried both these from inside as well as outside the iframe while it was FB authenticated. 

Here's how my code looks:

<script src="http://static.ak.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    FB_RequireFeatures(["XFBML"], function(){
    FB.Facebook.init("173f2f52ba9ab9f3fb21d158a4490524", "xd_receiver.htm");
    FB.ensureInit(function() {
        //FB.Facebook.showFeedDialog(58238377190);
  });
});
</script>
I have tried it both with/without ensureInit.
