Manual Canvas Resizing
This method is only enabled when Canvas Height is set to "Fluid" in the App Dashboard
The method FB.Canvas.setSize() tells Facebook to resize your Canvas iframe. If you do not specific any parameters Facebook will attempt to determine the height of the Canvas app and set the iframe accordingly. If you would like to set the dimension explicitly pass in an object with height and width properties.
If the Canvas Width toggle in set to "Fixed (760px)" in the App Dashboard the max width is 760 pixels. There is no max height.
NOTE: When using this method, ensure that window.name is not overridden as that can cause issues.
Examples

FB.Canvas.setSize({ width: 640, height: 480 });
