[Web4lib] library catalog search box in Facebook

[Chris Bourg]

Hi Greg--
We have used the Static FBML app 
<http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/apps/application.php?id=4949752878&from=20755551473> 
to add a Meebo widget and other stuff to our Facebook 
<http://www.facebook.com/pages/Stanford-CA/Green-Library-Stanford-University/20755551473> 
page; so I assume it would work for VuFind search HTML.
Would you be willing to share your VuFind html???

Thanks,
Chris
