You have to put localhost in your app settings in all the places where it want’s to know stuff like login URL, website, etc. – then it should work perfectly fine. (Except for those functions that actually need Facebook to connect your server, like deauthorize URL – put pure redirects happen client side, so there’s no problem there.)

i already tried it.but when i try to log in from localhost..after signing in it not responding
I run a pure PHP project (so I don't know how you do this with CodeIgniter) and I got Facebook Connect working doing these 2 (that I remember; if don't, tell me and I revise :)
- edited hosts file (c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts or /etc/hosts) to redirect 127.0.0.1 to domain name you use
set
<base href="..">meta to"http://{$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]}/"
then handle the URI you pass to Facebook Connect properly using the domain you set.
To test, access using http://<the-domain-name-set-in-hosts> and test normally. I guess that's it, and it's working here.
