Thanks for your reply. I'm still struggling over this, allthough I'm not sure your techique would be helpfull to me. In order to do the equilivent, I'll probably have to be calling to Facebooks API, which involves importing it on my php pages, or calling a php on every single page just to test on the offchance the code is in an iFrame. I think I know enough to do this myself, but I'd rather avoid it as it will slow the app down for people not using it in facebook unnesscerly.
Thats why I hoped there was a way for GWT to just check, say, a style from the parent page. Or maybe even pick up a varible from it, as then the sever wouldnt be involved at all. Thanks for your suggestion though, I'll keep it in mind if nothing else.
