Apprequests from a Website

Is there any way to send apprequests if your application is a website? I reported a bug on facebook http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/182553325173000 but I do not know if this is possible or not

It's possible, as the other answers have shown, but the user will be brought to your canvas app when they accept the requests

yes you can do this by adding the JS API,

before <body> add:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function inviteFriends(){
         var receiverUserIds = FB.ui({
                method : 'apprequests',
                message: 'YOUR CUSTOM MESSAGE',
         },
         function(receiverUserIds) {
                  console.log("IDS : " + receiverUserIds.request_ids);
                }
         );
    }
</script>

after the <body> include the API (asynchronous method):

<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
    FB.init({
      appId  : 'YOUR APP ID',
      status : true, // check login status
      cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
      xfbml  : true, // parse XFBML
      oauth  : true  //enables OAuth 2.0
    });
  };

  (function() {
    var e = document.createElement('script');
    e.src = document.location.protocol + '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
    e.async = true;
    document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
  }());
</script>

and call it:

<a href="#"  onclick="inviteFriends(); return false;"></a>

or

<a href="javascript:inviteFriends(); return false;"></a>

You can do that with the Javascript SDK

it is in the documentation: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/requests/
