Just a note: Facebook apparently does not support the ability to submit a form using javascript -- or fbjs -- (form.submit). Thus a user must click something in order for it to submit a form.
This came up because I'm working on a Facebook app in Flex that needs to post items to the user's feed. The Facebook AS3 API (http://code.google.com/p/facebook-actionscript-api/) appears to no longer work completely -- or at least the google code page indicates that development has stopped on it -- and I'm getting very gun shy about developing too tightly against a Facebook API that changes too quickly. As a result, I've decided to use javascript to pass values out of Flash and into hidden form fields on the facebook canvas page. The problem is that I can't call a function from flash that can also submit the form. So it seems that the best work around will be to create a button that shows above or below the Flex app that a user can click when they want to share an video or audio clip on their feed. The form will be updated with the proper values from Flex whenever a user changes their audio or video selection. It's not the cleanest implementation but the tests so far prove that it can work...
