A good example of why you should always fall back to validation on the server. Never trust the client.

Sneaky, and enormously helpful.

You can pretty much use this trick everywhere...

  I doubt this works. All it does is change the client side DOM. When the form gets sent to the server they can still ignore those friends.

    Thank you. I went back and looked, and you're right, it seems that it didnt submit ALL friend requests, only about a hundrad apperently.
    You can use this jQuery to click all friends who are clickable:
    1) jQuery(".fbProfileBrowser .fcb.fwb.text").click()

Good workaround!
