UPDATE 2: Still a lot of visitors come to my site, so I decided to update the code to a newer one which works as of November 2011. It’s worth to mention that executing Javascript directly in the URL field is not supported for all browsers. It should work in Google Chrome, there is now even an extension for this feature called Facebook Super Select All. Thanks for the contribution in the comments!
UPDATE 1: After this post was originally written, Facebook came up with a solution to create lists of friends. You can create several lists, based on your own personal criterias, and add your friends to different lists, which you then can send event or page invitations to. I would rather recommend using this solution provided by Facebook, so that you don’t send information which might not apply to all of your friends.
To create a list, go to your Account settings, choose Edit Friends and Create new list. After you’ve created new lists you have an option to filter friends based on list names when you’re inviting friends to events or pages.
The newly redesigned Facebook has led inviting members to an event/group/page to an even more complex process. Why can’t they just make a “select all” button? Initially I got tired of clicking several hundred times on all the pictures to invite people to my event, so I came up with this small piece of Javascript:
Go to your event/group/page, click invite people and then paste this snippet in the URL field of your browser.
Left-click the mouse in the URL field and hit Enter. Your invitations will not be sent yet, but all your friends will be selected. Click the “Invite” or “Send” button on the Facebook page to finally send the invites.
Soi! Done in one go

It seems to have stopped working for pages and events..could this just be facebook clogged up? or have they changed it again.

Refer to comment #2. Repeat as chant over and over in ever increasing volume for eternity.
August 27th, 2010 at 27 August, 2010
It doesn’t work anymore
I think Facebook has changed the codes.
Can u please figure out a new one?
August 27th, 2010 at 27 August, 2010
OR SIMPLY paste javascript:fs.select_all(); and hit ENTER.
))
For ppl who still can’t get it to work. You have to clear the address bar where http://www.facebook.com is and paste this code. Automatically your friends will all be selected, press enter and send .
Cheers!

Hello people,
I find some solution but it’s work only for Google Chrome,
there is a great add-on for select all your friends and then only with one click you can invite all your friends to join some group or event.
There is the link:

Not WorkinG
September 5th, 2010 at 5 September, 2010
Hey man, youre a champ….. this code feature doesn’t work with Firefox on MAC OSX but in the native web browser Safari it works a treat.
Thanks again bud
September 6th, 2010 at 6 September, 2010
This works fantastic for invitations, but is there a way that you’ve come up to select all when you suggest a page to friends?
September 6th, 2010 at 6 September, 2010
Or… you can do it the easy way -
Login to your account, go to the event, click on “Invite” and after all of your friends are broth into the windows enter this in the URL BAR:
javascript:fs.select_all();
Afterwords you’ll see that everybody is selected and you can continue with inviting them
P.S. If you have a lot of friends (1000+) it may take some time to get all of them invited.. but within a day everybody gets invited!
September 7th, 2010 at 7 September, 2010
I cant get it to work help! everytime I do it its says loading then it shows a blank box across my screen! help!! I use mozilla on windows
September 8th, 2010 at 8 September, 2010
Yo!!! Your the man! That may be the dopest thing ive ever done on FBook. I have 1500 friends and i would have given up after clicking on 10 invitees. Awesome move!

September 14th, 2010 at 14 September, 2010
I used to use this code all the time! But it doesn’t work anymore… I don’t know if facebook has recently changed their design again, but can we get an update on this? I tried doing this with different browsers on different computers, but to no avail. Any follow up would be greatly appreciated!
September 15th, 2010 at 15 September, 2010

Since you are either my friend or not I dont have lists.

September 17th, 2010 at 17 September, 2010
doesn’t seem to be working anymore =\ it works the first time around like on events, but if i try using it on my page where i already have some friends that are added it doesn’t work ;__; maybe its due to a shitty fb update =\
