Facebook Like Button not showing in Firefox and IE - facebook

I've got weird problem. I'm trying to add Facebook Like Button on my website, but it doesn't show up in Internet Explorer and Firefox. Yes, I've already added this:
<html xmlns:fb="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#">
and FB-Root and JS SDK. Whenever I'm trying to add XFBML or HTML5 version, it always doesn't show up in IE and Firefox. In Chrome and Safari it works well.
However, when I leave cursor on the button that is displaying div that contains FB like box over the mouse hover, it will display properly. Also, when I put this like button in any other place on my site, it will show up.
Here's the code:
<li id="menu-item-21" class="ikonka menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-21">
<a href="#"><span class="fb ikoneczka"></span>
<div class="box_pop">
<p>Text</p><hr/>
<div class="fb-like" data-href="http://facebook.com/facebook" data-send="false" data-layout="button_count" data-width="150" data-show-faces="false"></div>
</div>
</a>
</li>
It looks like Firefox and IE are rendering this box at the start of loading the page. However, they leave space for them. It's weird.
I wish you could help me. Thanks in advance.

OK, so I found solution for this problem.
Firstly, I've clear up all z-index in my css file and set z-index: 8; for .box_pop.
Secondly, set .ikonka div to display: none; and leave .ikonka:hover div with nothing (you can just don't put this in css).
Thirdly, I've set up some jQuery:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#your-li-id').hover(function() {
$(this).addClass('pretty-hover');
}, function() {
$(this).removeClass('pretty-hover');
});
});
</script>
Note: where is #your-li-id you must put here id of your li element. This script will add pretty-hover class to your li. Then, in CSS, put this:
.pretty-hover div{
display: block;
}
It should work now.
As you can see, you mustn't set display: none; into your CSS and then - also via CSS - just add display: block; on hover.
If you will do that, iFrame won't be visible in IE or even FF. You must do this trick with jQuery.

I had the same problem on Firefox only (v.29.0.1) and it turned out to be AdBlock plus (v.2.6) blocking the Like and Share buttons from rendering.

disable photos & photoset permalinks tumblr

I'm trying to make all picture posts on my homepage not clickable, so they can't link to the permalinks. (I just want them to stay as miniatures with the hover cycle effect already provided by the theme)
I've tried removing {LinkOpenTag} and {LinkCloseTag} from:
{block:Photo}
<div class="wide-sizer">
<div class="image">
{LinkOpenTag}
<img src="{block:PermalinkPage}{PhotoURL-HighRes}{/block:PermalinkPage}{block:IndexPage}{PhotoURL-500}{/block:IndexPage}" alt="{PhotoAlt}"
data-high-res="{PhotoURL-HighRes}"
data-width="{PhotoWidth-HighRes}"
data-height="{PhotoHeight-HighRes}"
/>
{LinkCloseTag}
</div>
But photos and photosets are still clickable.
This is my page: http://woodstudiofr.tumblr.com
I'm using the "Spectator Theme".
UPDATE: ok so i tried removing as data-permalink={Permalink}as lharby suggested, but now all the links redirect to /undefined.
Any ideas?
thanks again for your time !
As mentioned in my comment, the data-permalink attribute has been removed, but there is still some custom javascript which is casing the url to be returned undefined.
Go to the bottom of your template, before the closing <body> tag and add this code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.post').unbind('click').click(function(){});
});
</script>
(Basically instead of binding the post to a click function which is in the custom javascript we are now attempting to unbind it on click).
I tested it in the browser and it looks to be working (although a couple of other methods I thought would work didn't).
EDIT
In order to change the cursor on the post element. Remove the clickable class from the .post div from the template (if you can, if it is hard coded in).
Alternatively inside the style tags at the bottom, add the following css:
.post-grid .post.photo.clickable a,
.post.clickable {
cursor: default;
}

How can I create a resizable "like" box?

The likebox I created for nbglive.com is not resizable, no matter what method I use, and as such, it is causing great trouble as to how I can integrate it with our site without having it overlap the radio player.
Is it possible to get the like box to resize when the page is resized? I'm using twitter-bootstrap.
I am putting FB widgets (likebox and comments) into the Bootstrap's grid like this:
<div class="span4">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="fb-like-box" data-href="{url}" data-width="234" data-show-faces="true" data-stream="false" data-border-color="#007Db7" data-header="false"></div>
</div>
</div>
where url is the variable containing web URL of the FB page.
with CSS:
div.fb-like-box,
div.fb-like-box > span,
div.fb-like-box > span > iframe[style],
div.fb-comments,
div.fb-comments > span,
div.fb-comments > span > iframe[style] {
width: 100% !important;
}
Facebook loads its component asynchronously with styles set according to the width data attribute. I set it to some safe value: looks bad but does not overflow to other elements for different view-ports. My CSS overrides all the FB's width settings that are necessary to resize the widgets (I set 100%, so it adjusts to the containing div). It is not documented and possibly it will stop to work when FB changes their designs, so choose your default width (234px for me) wisely ;)
Example with LikeBox of at the bottom of the right-hand side panel and in the sidebar. Note the responsive behavior when you change the size of the browsers window.
Here is an easy way:
$(".fb-like-box").attr("data-width", $(document).width());
Do your cording according to your CSS as below
<div class="comment-box">
<div class="fb-comments" data-href="site_url" data-width="100%" data-numposts="5" data-colorscheme="light" data-mobile="auto-detected"></div>
</div><!--comment-box-->

iphone and display: inline

I'm having a weird display issue when testing a site on an iPhone4 running iOS6.
For some reason, the iPhone ignores the display: inline; rule when I click on the parent link. I've been browsing the test site using Safari developer tools, and the toggle class names are working as intended.
I'm using this piece of javascript to toggle class names on the div:
$('.toggle').click(function() {
$(this).toggleClass('toggle');
$(this).toggleClass('toggle_open');
});
The mark up looks like this:
<div class="toggle">
<span>Parent</span>
<div>
<span>Child 1</span>
<span>Child 2</span>
<span>Child 3</span>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
div.toggle div { display: none; }
div.toggle, div.toggle_open { display: inline; }
If I change display: inline to inline-block it works. If I remove display: inline completely it works, but then causes display issues in the browser. I want to use display: inline; so the contents of my mark up display on 1 line or 2 if required.
I'm aware I could use modinizer to create a rule for 'touch' and 'no-touch', but this seems like over kill for something that is probably a bug created by my code :)
What have I done to upset mobile Safari?

Internet Explorer Like button madness

I have a page with an image. When you hover over the image, a slightly transparent white div appears on top of it with a couple of action buttons and some info. When you move your mouse off the image, the info/button box disappears (display: none).
In that hidden/mouseover box is a facebook like button. It shows up perfectly fine in all other browsers, but As you might have guessed, it has strange behaviour in the notorious IE browsers.
In IE7 - IE8, the like button appears for just a second and then disappears. It still leaves a space in the design like when it would be there, it just isn't. Doesn't matter if I rollover first or not. Button appears for a second, then disappears.
In IE9 however, the button does appear and stays there. When I rollover a second time though, the iframe gets a white background, even though the first rollover got me a transparent background.
html code of hidden mouseover div:
<div id="hoverPopup">
<div class="fbLikeWrapper">
<div class="fb-like" data-send="false" data-layout="button_count" data-show-faces="false"></div>
</div>
<a href="javascript:reserveGift(#qry_kadoogle_detail.id_kadoogle_detail#, 1)">
<div class="btn_small_prefix"></div>
<div class="btn_gift_center">button1</div>
<div class="btn_small_suffix"></div>
</a>
<a href="##">
<div class="btn_small_prefix"></div>
<div class="btn_gift_center">button2</div>
<div class="btn_small_suffix"></div>
</a>
</div>
css code:
.fbLikeWrapper
{
/*width : 50px;
margin-left : auto;
margin-right: auto;*/
}
.fbLikeWrapper div
{
display : block;
line-height: normal;
}
screen captures:
IE9
IE7
Try this:
#hoverPopup .fb-like {
width: 47px;
}
.fbLikeWrapper
{
display : inline-block;
width : 51px;
text-align : center !important;
margin : 30px auto 10px;
box-sizing : border-box;
-moz-box-sizing : border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing : border-box;
overflow : hidden;
}
If this not helps, may the javascript causing the problem, not the css and you have to share more information (javascript, html, etc.)...
I found the answer through one of my colleagues who's had a similar problem.
When the page was loaded, the popup needed to be hidden, so I gave them a class that said display:none;. When I hover I toggle the class on and off. In every browser that works with a facebook like button, with IE it doesn't.
I don't exactly know why yet, but I did find out that if I use the jquery .hide() and .show() functions to toggle and initially set the hidden div and not use a class, it works like a charm.
Case closed. IE continues to suck.

Facebook Like Button Not Showing Up In Firefox

I'm using the following code for my like button
<fb:like id="facebook-like" href="http://mysite.com/index.php" layout="button_count" width="450" show_faces="false" font=""></fb:like>
Some users have experienced the like button not showing up. Noted in 3.6.17 but observed in other versions. I'm somewhat familier with the firefox iframe bug, but I was currious if anyone has any work arounds for the facebook like button.
Like buttons that are rendered with javascript (<div class="fb-like"/> and <fb:like/>) get height=0 if they are initially hidden (display:none).
To work around this, create the element with javascript after the container is displayed, and then run:
FB.XFBML.parse();
Example:
result.show();
var like_box = $(".fb-like-inactive", result);
like_box.removeClass("fb-like-inactive");
like_box.addClass("fb-like");
FB.XFBML.parse();
This CSS solved it for me
.fb-like span, .fb-like iframe { height:25px!important; width:150px!important}
This is still an issue, as can be seen here (also contains fix):
http://codepen.io/wiledal/pen/cGnyq
Firefox does not draw the Facebook-like if the div is hidden at the time of parsing. In the example above I delay the showing of a div after different times. You can see that a like-button shown after 500ms does not get rendered in Firefox.
I managed a work around which does not cut off the comment dialog after liking, simply by using min-height and min-width instead of set values that was previously proposed.
.fb-like span, .fb-like iframe {
min-width: 100px !important;
min-height: 20px !important;
}
I had the same problem on Firefox only (v.29.0.1) and it turned out to be AdBlock plus (v.2.6) blocking the Like and Share buttons from rendering.
Can you try calling the like button like so:
<div id="fb-root"></div><script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#appId=195243810534550&xfbml=1"></script><fb:like href="http://mysite.com/index.php" send="false" width="450" show_faces="true" font=""></fb:like>
And let me know if you're still seeing issues.
Leaving an answer because I can't leave comments yet...
Oli's nice CSS hack looked like it worked initially:
.fb-like span, .fb-like iframe { height:25px!important; width:150px!important}
but it clipped the comment box that tried to pop up when we actually clicked the like button.
Per's delayed parse solution seems to do the job; here's a bit more detail. In our case we had the like button in a drop down menu, which looked like:
<ul>
<li class="control_menu">
<span>menu name</span>
<ul style="display: none;">
<li><div class="fb-like-inactive" data-href=...></li>
...
</ul>
</li>
...
</ul>
with code that shows the drop down ul when the user hovers over the control_menu element. We used this code to handle the delayed parsing:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.fb-like-inactive').closest('.control_menu').hover(function() {
var inactive = $(this).find('.fb-like-inactive');
if (inactive.length && (typeof FB != 'undefined')) {
inactive.removeClass('fb-like-inactive').addClass('fb-like');
FB.XFBML.parse(this);
}
});
});
It finds the fb-like-inactive buttons, then looks up the tree to find the containing control_menu elements, then attaches an event to the control_menu elements to detect when the user hovers over them. When it detects a hover for a particular menu element, it looks for inactive like buttons within that element, marks them as normal fb-like, and then parses just the content of that element.
I hope this saves someone some time.
I just spent an hour on this and on a much more basic level, you need to know that the Facebook buttons will not render when testing your page locally.
It may seems obvious but it will only work when rendering from a webserver.
Per's solution is based on the XFBML version of the fb button and I wasn't sure how to do this with the "html5 version" or if it is really possible but I found a CSS/JS solution that doesn't clip content instead so here it is:
html
<button class="like-button">I like this stuff</button>
<!-- This is a hidden like-box -->
<div class="social-share aural">...stuff...</div>
CSS:
html body .aural {
position: absolute;
font-size: 0;
left: -9999px;
}
jQuery:
$('body').on("click", '.like-button', function(e) {
var $socialShare = $('.social-share');
$socialShare.css({'font-size':'1em'});
var sw = $socialShare.width();
$socialShare.animate({left: sw-80}, 400);
});
You may have to use !important rule (in both css and js) or nest the .aural class depending on the rest of your css. If it doesn't work I'd suggest trying to change the default layout so it doesn't override .aural or nest .aural and as a last resort use !important..
I had the same problem but the culprit was setting tracking protection in about:config to true.
This tip turned me on to the idea initially:
Lifehacker: Turn on Tracking Protection in Firefox to Make Pages Load 44% Faster
My solution is completely different to any of the above.
I have a character animation in my page, and one of the elements has the id="body" (which is perfectly reasonable) however this seemed to kill the FB script.
As soon as I renamed my id, the share started working again; I can only presume there was some kind of conflict, as id'ed elements can be referenced as global variables.
I found this out through the usual process of removing elements until things worked, so I'm fairly sure it was this.
