Why won't my iframe app appear when added to a page?

I am trying to make a simple iframe app. The app works fine when navigating directly to it:

http://apps.facebook.com/meganliz

...however, when I try to add it to a page, it does not work; there is only white space where the app should be.

I have tried switching between http and https for the Canvas URL & Page Tab URL; it makes no difference.

To get the app to the page, I am using https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=APP_ID&next=https://apps.facebook.com/meganliz/ (replacing "APP_ID" with the actual app id)

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Jon

Canvas url and Page tab url should be your server address from where your app should be loaded. You can have different content for both.

For example:

Canvas url: http://myserver.com/myapp/canvas_content/

Page tab url: http://myserver.com/myapp/page_tab_content/

To add the tab to your page try this: https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID&display=popup&next=YOUR_URL

Replace YOUR_URL with the value you entered in Page tab URL (http:myserver.com/myapp/page_tab_content/).
