I implemented html5 version of the like button on the header of my page.
once i navigate to another page and press the back button on the browser the FB button renders the iframe the size of 1000px * 1000px and masks the page content.
any solutions for this ? is this a known issue?
I can confirm this is happening for myself as well across multiple sites.
Facebook is aware of the issue which may take some time to fix according to https://developers.facebook.com/x/bugs/663421210369743/
In the short-term, many other developers seems to be suggesting to target the iframe specifically through css (or timeout javascript call) to force the height back to about 20px.
When using css, ensure you use !important to override the style attribute that ends up on the iframe from facebook.
I know this is an old post but it's still happening.
Add this inline to the code facebook gives you:
data-height="30px" data-width="130px"
And this to the CSS
.fb-like {
width: 130px !important;
}
Of course, you can change the width to whatever you want.
So your code should look like this (where XX is replaced with your parameters):
<div class="fb-like" data-href="XX" data-send="XX" data-layout="XX" data-show-faces="XX" data-height="30px" data-width="130px">
This is only a temporary solution until it is fixed as the facebook button disappears after a minute or so.
Probably not the best solution out there but adding the following css could work for now:
.fb-like iframe {
width: 500px!important;
height: 50px!important;
}
For me this is happening when the facebook like button is wrapped in "position relative" element with "z-index" higher then the content wrapper.
Check the position and the z-index of your elements.

When I load up my app, either stand-alone or inside Facebook canvas, theres an iframe with a inline height and width property that's basically blocking all app links and functions because It's somehow sitting on top of everything.
I'm not an experienced Facebook app developer and was wondering what's going on and how to handle it? I've identified the css in Google Chrome but don't know how to remove or prevent the styles since the iframe is not part of the dev package I cloned. The app is up on Facebook and should be viewable using facebook.apps.com/datingfordummies
Thanks in advance
Fixed it. I simply removed the width and height property in my css. I would have done this initially but was afraid it would effect the other iframes on the page. Needless to say, it didn't and is now working.
for future reference:
iframe{width:0 !important; height:0 !important;}
I'm using Twenty Eleven theme of Wordpress.
In other themes, there is no problem but in twenty eleven there is a problem with Facebook like button's comments popup window. it's half shown. when I click "Like" button, the view is like below:

I use Facebook plugin for Wordpress. How can I fix this problem?
Thank you so much for your help!
It's a bug in Twenty Eleven (and a few other themes, probably copy-pasted). Open your style.css and look for:
embed,
iframe,
object {
max-width: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
If you remove the max-width line, it should work! Maybe there's a more elegant solution but honestly, I don't know why the size of an iframe should always be limited to its container (in this case the FB button).
Maybe thats a better way of doing it!
Put a class on your Facebook Like Button div, in this case I used "fb-like" class.
.fb-like iframe,
.fb_iframe_widget iframe {
max-width: none;
}
Looking/testing for a lot of solutions I found one that hides the comment window (source here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12829375/3687838 ) and then I wrote one that shows the window without being displayed in half. I'm not a programmer but from my small experience from tweaking wordpress plugins I came up with this ideea:
.fb-like {
z-index: 200;
position: absolute;
}
Copy/Paste it in your Custom CSS theme file. The z-index value can be changer even to 10000 if you want your window to be on top of everything.
If you want to hide the comment window, use the solution provided in the link above with a value of 27px instead of 20px.
I'm generating a like button with Facebook's 'standard' layout for my site via https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ . I've set its width to 200 pixels, but notice that setting it to lower than 225 pixels has no effect, and the documentation on that page indeed specifies 225px as the minimum width for the standard layout. Unfortunately I need to make it 200 pixels wide to fit my site's design. Is there any way to force it into this width?
(The site's at http://gwwc2.centreforeffectivealtruism.org/ if you want to have a play with Firebug, though the like button gets generated by javascript so you'd probably have to duplicate that page and edit its source.)
The reason for the width restriction is the text displayed to non logged in users.
You'll find that if you shrink lower than 225px for that button style some users will find your layout disrupted (I've tried exactly this, the results were not good).
You can, however, choose a different button style.
Uncheck the send button option
Choose the button_count option
Set the width to 200px
Uncheck show faces
And you'll get this:-
<div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.example.com" data-send="false" data-layout="button_count" data-width="200" data-show-faces="false" data-font="arial"></div>
Which fits your width requirement. Using box_count will also work well.
Take out &width=225 in the iFrame src attribute and pass no width at all. In the iframe style attribute, specify a css value width:200px; If you pass a value smaller than the minimum in the source URL, facebook will ignore it, but if you custom style the iframe itself to be that width, the contents will squeeze inside.
Create a CSS rule that states iframe { width:200px !important; )
I would make that rule specific to whatever DIV or container your Facebook widget is inside of. And of course, if it looks bad after you do this, you can take it out. But if you're just including a "Like" button (no faces), it should work.
The button-count Layout Style height of the "Like" button and corresponding counter block is 20px high. Is there any way to shrink that block to 16px using css of jQuery or any other method?
Thanks
It can't be done. The only customization you can do is what you see here:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
See this article on why it's so difficult to resize iframes:
http://css-tricks.com/cross-domain-iframe-resizing/
Actually you can hide whatever you like by wrapping it with a div and doing some css. Or you can !important override any of the CSS facebook uses by doing it in your own stylesheet. Just open up your page in firebug after adding the button and you can figure out what css to override. Honestly it's not worth it though, the facebook iframe for their button tears up android browsers and slows down every page you put it on.
I added the button to a page and only wanted the button not a count or their blown out text message beside it. so I created a div with the id="facebook" and wrapped it around the div they give you on the dev site. Then added this CSS to my stylesheet.
#facebook {
max-width:42px;
max-height:20px;
overflow:hidden;
float:left;
}
You can use a couple of div's to wrap it then change the centering of the button as well using negative margins on the inner div. But again it's not honestly worth it to me so I stopped sending links to facebook and stick with twitter and pinterest.
Hope that helps.
I am able to put a Facebook like button on my website, but how do I make it to be right-aligned within the div/iframe it is in?
I tried applying various CSS properties, but I could not get anything to move in the iframe.
I think this link could help too:
http://shades-of-orange.com/post/2011/01/09/Embed-Facebook-Like-Button-e28093-Right-Align-with-css-and-Settings.aspx
It says to set the width to "0". Then the box will be autoresize by Facebook and you can apply a float right to that box.
iframe is an inline element, you can use
text-align: right
for a div that contains that iframe, or float the iframe to the right, but just make sure to clear the float afterwards.
sample: http://jsfiddle.net/Mujj6/3/
and: http://jsfiddle.net/Mujj6/5/
Seems as though there are many ways to achieve this that work in different situations.
None of the above seemed to make any difference to the position of my 'like' button, however a little trial and error with a "margin-left" tag and I got it in the right place.
Thanks for everyone's input. The position relative trick doesn't always do it for me:
div.around-fb-like{
position:relative;
float:right;
}
So far this has been more dependable:
#fb-root{
position:absolute;
left:-1000%;
}
What is described in Embed Facebook Like button – Right align with CSS and settings works. However, in my website, I had to change the style to
position:relative; right:-130px;
the 'like' social plug-in seems to have changed styles within the iframe. what's the best way to prevent the 'like' from flowing right, on the following page?

With DIV it's easy:
.fb-like{ vertical-align:top;}
