I have noticed that this new horizontal scroll bar at the bottom which I am unable to remove. I have attached an image in which i have also clearly marked the scroll bar which i am talking about. I know there is canvas setting in app settings but that is for the scroll bars above this one. When i scroll the marked scroll bar to the right the chat & notifications also get scrolled something which didn't use to happen before.
This is a reported Facebook API bug: http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/182748101891780
You can add to the "fb-like" attribute data-width="100px" (or whatever width you like) and it solves this issue.
Found the problem to be this element from FB ui, in the right column:
<div style="width:246px; height:69px; " class="_56vv _56vw" id="u_0_j">
It's the Recommended Games block, which has a carousel inside it. It should have a overflow:hidden in CSS. Tried to access it from my app via javascript, but FB blocked it.
This is the solution I used since this issue was making me crazier.
I use Stylish to customize Facebook, and I have a style installed that blocks all the useless crap on that site, i.e. friend recommendations, ads, unused navigation items on the left, etc.
All I did was find the DIV that holds the entire right sidebar and disabled it. This effectively got rid of the scrollbar and centers the main content within the middle DIV.
Here's the line I added to Stylish:
#rightCol {display:none;}
And just for your reference, here's the whole list I use for Facebook:
.rightColumnWrapper {display:none;}
#navHome{display:none;}
#pagelet_ego_pane {display:none;}
#pagelet_friend_list_suggestions {display:none;}
#appsNav {display:none;}
#pagelet_ticker {display:none;}
#fbSidebarGripper {display:none;}
#pagelet_welcome {display:none;}
#rightCol {display:none;}
.groupMemberSuggestionsList{display:none;}
.groupRecommendationsList{display:none;}
Hope this helps if you haven't already found a solution.

I have an html file being served by Express, which also fetches data from an api. When I click a link in the navbar and switch routes (or the page is reloaded), the top navbar moves right, then left, and I can't figure out how to fix it.
If you look at the JSFiddle (link below), you'll notice that I have links to other pages, like /profile, /about, etc. Each time one of these pages loads, the navbar shifts (it's adjusting for the vertical scroll bar disappearing, then reappearing).
https://jsfiddle.net/h7bjyk63/5/
To mimic the api call, I added a setTimeout. To reproduce the issue and see what I'm talking about, you will probably need to run this code locally on your machine, and then refresh the page.
The strange thing is that this issue only occurs when there's some kind of delay (like an api call, or setTimeout). If I remove the delay and immediately load the content, everything works fine.
Some css code is commented out. The only key element I want to add later is position: fixed to fix the navbar to the top of the page.
How do I prevent the navbar from moving around?
The browser first renders the page without the scrollbar because it simply doesn't have to. Then you dynamically add few long paragraphs into the DOM, which makes the scrollbar to appear. This is what's causing your content 'shifting'.
The scrollbar is adding up to the width of your page. To prevent it from doing so, you need to do this:
html{
overflow-y: scroll;
}
I finally found something that worked, although I'm not 100% sure it's the correct way to do things. I just changed the width under the navbar--site-header class to 100vw instead of 100%.
DVN-Anakin's answer helped me understand the problem (and one possible solution), and this answer provided some additional good solutions.
I use Fancybox2 to open an iFrame popup window (content comes from the same website). Within this popup, I have tabbed content (Bootstrap tabs). Each tab has content of different heights.
I am hoping that Fancybox can resize its height accordingly when I click tabs to see content on different heights.
I tried different combinations of autoSiz, autoHeight, etc. Got no success. Googled, and it seems many people asked related questions.
Am I missing something? Or is it doable? I feel this should be an easy configuration.
Thanks!
You may need to trigger the $.fancybox.update() (fancybox v2.x) method after the tab selector event
If using iframes, try parent.$.fancybox.update()
You may also need set fitToView to false
My Facebook app (iframe / fluid / Fluid) shows a horizontal scrollbar. All attempts to remove it have failed.
I've tried all the solutions posted here, regarding FB.setAutoGrow(), FB.setSize(), etc... with no luck, but I found something interesting:
The scrollbars that appear are not related to my application, but related to the commercials at the side.
In the image you can see what I'm talking about:
To the left is a portion of my Iframe App. While the Iframe has been correctly resized (I've checked with Firebug - right) and their sizes are all right, there's that horizontal scrollbar at the bottom that affects the whole facebook window (not just my iframe).
The highlighted item on Firebug is what causes the horizontal scrollbar. They don't belong to the pagelet div (the div where the iframe resides): It's part of the carousel of recommended games to the right ! (and its width is > 5000 pixels).
When I first launch my app, there are no scrollbars fora little time interval, like 500ms, then they suddenly appear.
FB.Canvas.setSize , FB.Canvas.setAutoGrow seem to work, if I invoke them manually, they do resize the iframe, etc. but they don't remove the scrollbar.
I have body:overflow=hidden.
(may be related?) My app uses itself another iframe, width and height 100%, that is where the action takes place. That other iframe also has overflow=hidden.
This has traditionally worked. I stopped paying attention to Facebook for a couple months, then I saw this yesterday :(
What can be happening? My guess is somehow Facebook thinks my app needs horizontal scrolling, removes overflow-x:hidden in the main body in order to allow it, but this intererferes with their carousel that expects a hidden overflow... I don't know if this problem is at all my fault or a Facebook Bug.
Fortunately, this bug has been solved by Facebook. Everything is working now.
I need to build a tab looking like this one:
https://www.facebook.com/auto.co.il/app_134594493332806
I know how to add an image and a comment box and i know of several "plain" ways to hide the content from non-fans, but i came across the above tab and i really like the way it shows thee content yet you cant engage it until you press the like button.
Any help please?
Thanks in advance.

Your link didn't work for me, but you can place a absolutely positioned div with a high z-index above the rest of your content to prevent the user from clicking on anything.
Update: Now that the link has been updated I see that they are doing exactly what I described above. In chrome if you right-click the background and select "inspect element" you will see the following computed style for the div:
rgba(0,0,0,0.796);
display:block;
height:1612px;
width:810px;
The content is blacked out simply with a div with a black background and some opacity. Just for fun, you can overcome their like gate (without liking) via chrome's JS console by selecting the iframe context and then entering the following:
$('.like_float_c').detach();
... now call youself a 'hacker' ;)
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.
