My iPad, which I've been using daily for the past 3 years, all of a sudden is asking for my Facebook password constantly. I first noticed that one of my games would not connect to Facebook. It connected fine the day before but now it won't. When I went to the FB tab in settings it was blank. I entered the password. It verified it and it all looked good. I exited out of settings and tried to enter my game and a box popped up asking for my password again. It does that until I hit cancel. I can still access FB thru the app and thru the browser. Any ideas anybody????

Facebook will actively terminate your connection if you log-in from any other client like the Facebook web, or your mobile phone.
Even with just one client logged in, you should expect Facebook to close the connection anyway. This happens with everything I've tried, libpurple based clients (Admium, Pidgin on Linux...) gets disconnected now and then. Those clients do silently reconnect. For iChat, as you suggested, chax can accept the dialog for you.
IMHO, It seems to me that Facebook is still struggling to make their chat service stable.
EDIT:
IF you want to reconnect without using chad, you can edit your crontab (using crontab -e) and add:
*/5 * * * * osascript -e ‘tell application “System Events” to if (processes whose name is “Messages”) exists then tell application “Messages” to log in’
This will make sure iChat stays connected, telling it to reconnect every five minutes.
No it's not possible!
The reason is that the Facebook url scheme needs a unique ID for open a certain page and if you look the screenshot below you can see that the "Google" is Name and Username.

I remember dealing with something like this for a friend over a year ago. One of the things to try is to make sure you're logged out of FB at your computer and any other device you may log into FB on with. Then, do a reset on your iPad (don't worry, this won't hurt any of your data): hold the Home and Power/Sleep buttons down at the same time for approximately 15-20 seconds/until you see the Apple logo. Then release and give it time to fully restart. It'll take a few minutes, so be patient. After it fully starts up, try opening up FB and entering in your login credentials and see what happens.
