Facebook share link: &display=popup not popping up - facebook

Hey I'd like to have it so that the Facebook share link pops up rather than opens to a new page. I'm just going from their example:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/share?
app_id=145634995501895
&display=popup
&href=https%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.facebook.com%2Fdocs%2F
&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.facebook.com%2Ftools%2Fexplorer
and I figured that "$display=popup" would imply that it well, displays a popup. I'm new to working with Facebook sharing, and I'm finding a million solutions on how to not have it popup. Is there something I'm missing?

display just control the look. You still need to pop the popup your self

specific fb page will not work with like button

I've had this like button/box setup for this specific page for some time. But now it;s stopped working:
Using code generated (for iframe) on this page:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
to display this fb page:
http://www.facebook.com/JohnPurkiss
does not display/work. If I amend the like button url in the iframe to another fb page, it does work. I'm not tryinig to use a button/plugin that requires an app. Just a plain 'ol simple button. But it appears to me there is an issue with this specific fb page (johnpurkiss one above)
Any advice/help greatly appreciated.
The problem here is that the "page" you linked to is in actual fact a personal user.
You can not "like" a user in the same way that
you can not add a page as a friend...
or "poke" an event...
or subscribe to a photo...
You'll gave to provide an actual page to be liked.
As you can see from the screenshot below taken from the link you provided, there is no like button to be found.
Only an "Add Friend" and "Subscribe" button. I'm not sure if converting your profile into a page is the way you want to go, but it is possible. You can learn how at this link.

Does anybody see what's wrong with Facebook buttons on this page?
Thanks.
This looks like a Facebook bug. I filed a bug here https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/391962640871463

Cannot add App to Facebook pages

Since today, I cannot add new apps to Facebook pages.
Normally I create an app, go to the app-page and click on "Add to my page":
The link to the add page was this, but it's not working anymore.
Any solution?
Check this page tab tutorial.
Here is a little helper page to do this until Facebook fixes it themselves: http://stickybeat.se/addapp/
This link might be more direct on what you are looking for. It gives an example of using the Facebook api to add a page as well as the dialog method.

iFrame inside Facebook Dialog Box

I am trying to open a flash gallery with modal box in my iFrame Facebook app, but it is bigger than 520px. I found 2 solutions:
Insert a piece of code in the parent windows to make the modal to open with Target _parent, This is impossible since the parent windows is the Facebook!
Open flash video with iFrame inside a Facebook Dialog Box,
I have been looking for a tutorial for days without success. Anyone knows how can I do something like this:
<fb:dialog id="my_dialog">
<fb:dialog-title>My title</fb:dialog-title>
<fb:dialog-content> Flash video </fb:dialog-content>
</fb:dialog>
Maybe it's a solution for what I need, but it's more than 2 months and nobody answered this question.

Thanks in advance.
Didn't try it out once but it might be because of fbml deprecated.. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fbml/
If it is wider than 520px , you can try canvas page (i know user will have to leave fan page) and integrate inside Facebook. It might be even better in user experience perspective, if i have been visiting your page and in tab app if you lock my Facebook screen and show a dialog box with flash gallery, i will annoyed. It will be much better in canvas without any popups. Guess.. :)

Facebook like button doesn't open in a new window

I have a trouble with the facebook "i like" button. I put in my web site but I really need to open the Iframe in a new windows!
Is it possible?
If anyone has a tips please let me know; I going crazy with this, I couldn't find any hint online!
If anybody are still interest on this issue i discover in the facebook developer forum that you cannot open in a new window! Because the facebook team doesn't allow you.
My solution was to hide the comments iframe and just show the count.
It's working good as well. Just the user can't give a title to the page that would like to share.
