fbml

Hi,

I'm working on a FBML fan page for a client. I need to perform a check to see if the current user is a fan of the page. I tried using the JavaScript API but I've found this is not compatible with FBML.

I have looked through the FBML page on the developer wiki and found checks for practically everything else but no is user fan check.

Any pointers in the right direction would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
