HTML in Facebook tab not allowed

I want to add a tab with content from a page I made to a fan page of mine.

I set up an app for it here: http://apps.facebook.com/like_analytics/ As you can see, it loads correctly.

However, when I made a tab for it and added it to my page here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Like-Button-Analytics/115713315157219?v=app_170556839635845

I get this:

Application temporarily unavailable
Parse errors:
FBML Error (line 17): illegal tag "body" under "fb:tab-position"
Runtime errors:
HTML error while rendering tag "script": App exceeded maximum number of script references
HTML error while rendering tag "script": App exceeded maximum number of script references
HTML error while rendering tag "link": There is a hard limit of 2 css link tags on profile tabs in order to remain under the IE 31 tag limit.
Cannot allow external script

It looks like I can't have a full HTML page on a tab, but I need scripts for syntax highlighting etc. Is there any way to make this work?

iFrames are allowed inside Page Tabs now.

If you're still seeing the illegal tag "body" under "fb:tab-position" error, log in as a page admin, view the page and click the "Upgrade" button at the top of the page to upgrade your page to the new layout and functionality.

Inside facebook tabs you cannot use html as you would regularily use it.

The part of html that you can put inside a facebook tab consist of the content of the body tag. that means you are not allowed to use the body tag, nor html, head.

If you need to insert css or javascript code you can use the style tag. good luck ;)
