facebook, initialization, javascript, oauth
Solution
You can find a description of the channel URL parameter below.

It goes into detail on why you would want want to include the parameter, but below is really the most important part.
Asynchronous loading is another simple tactic that allows your page to load quickly without blocking the loading of other elements of your page.
Problem
As the title states, my question is what is a channel file. I am creating an Javascript program that connects to the user's Facebook account using OAuth. There is an initialization script that looks as such ``` <div id="fb-root"></div> <script> // Additional JS functions here window.fbAsyncInit = function() { FB.init({ appId : 'YOUR_APP_ID', // App ID channelUrl : '//WWW.YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/channel.html', // Channel File status : true, // check login status cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session xfbml : true // parse XFBML }); // Additional init code here }; // Load the SDK Asynchronously (function(d){ var js, id = 'facebook-jssdk', ref = d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;} js = d.createElement('script'); js.id = id; js.async = true; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"; ref.parentNode.insertBefore(js, ref); }(document)); </script> ``` So in the channelUrl what would I set that to? What does it mean? Thanks in advance!
