I get to work on an old Facebook App, which is a canvas facebook application and uses FBML. Now none of the tags of FBML seems to be working, so i just want to know, is it completely removed by facebook?

If yes, how would i write the code in the for:

<fb:dashboard>
  <fb:action href="http://apps.facebook.com/ilovebolly/index.php">Home</fb:action>
  <fb:action href="http://apps.facebook.com/ilovebolly/movie.php">Movies</fb:action>
  <fb:action href="http://apps.facebook.com/ilovebolly/celebrity.php">Celebrities</fb:action>
  <fb:action href="http://apps.facebook.com/ilovebolly/news.php">News</fb:action>
  <fb:action href="http://apps.facebook.com/ilovebolly/invite.php">Invite Friends</fb:action>
  <fb:help href="http://apps.facebook.com/ilovebolly/help.php">Help</fb:help>
</fb:dashboard>

Is there any method in the Javascript SDK or will I have to write pure HTML, CSS for this?

According to the roadmap, you can no longer create new FBML apps. However, if it's an old app you should be able to use FBML for the timebeing. According to the FBML reference, the individual tags aren't deprecated either. Implementing this for an iframe would involve pure HTML/CSS and Javascript if you want - there's no JS SDK method for it.
