I am using the likebox.
I am getting some strange results.
On Google chrome:
Says 7 likes, Shows 6 people, 7th person is the last "liker" repeated another time.
On Internet Explorer
Says 6 likes, shows 4 people.
On Firefox
Says 6 likes, shows 4 people.
Live example:
See the fan box on the right
What is causing this?
How can I fix it?

The content of that box is generated by Facebook. You cannot change the way it works in any way. If it's displaying the wrong thing, then that's Facebook displaying the wrong thing.
Bottom line: You just have to live with it.

I'm working on a site for a client. The site is built in Joomla and is using a Facebook like button on each page. When a user clicks a like button it unclicks itself after a second or two.
I've seen several similar problems here but none have provided enough insight to help me figure out what to do to fix this problem.
I ran the page through the Facebook debugger:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theartoflove.net%2Findex.php%2F9-blog%2Fmen%2F27-go-ahead-and-ask-her-out
but I don't have a clue how to figure out what that result is telling me. The URL I used as a test in the debugger is:
http://www.theartoflove.net/index.php/9-blog/men/27-go-ahead-and-ask-her-out
Anyone know what I need to do to fix this problem? It seems to happen regardless of what like box I put on the site (I've tried three different ones so far).
My sincere thanks for any help!
When I clicked the like button, a small 'CONFIRM' link appeared under the "Like" widget, i had to click the 'CONFIRM' link (which brought up a dialog box asking me to confirm that I liked the page) in order to get the "Like" to stick.

Facebook sometimes makes the arbitrary determination that your page is 'spammy' and adds extra precautions like 'CONFIRM'. That may be part of what is going on.
The code is reentrant and the developer is flipping the bit instead of verifying the current state with a conditional before setting the value. (This is a common coding mistake. Too common.)
we offer our users the ability to use facebook to sign up on our site and until recently this was working fine.
Since 2 days ago (October 30th) we noticed our registrations using facebook significantly dropped (from around 50-100/day down to 1!) and when taking a look at the process we found that the registration was being cut off and only a small part was showing.
This is how it looks now: http://i.imgur.com/i4UCkAx.jpg
If I look at the source of the facebook iframe I can see the html tag has overflow set to hidden and if I disable this using Firebug everything looks as it should. But since this is on facebooks end there's nothing I can do about it to prevent it happening to our customers.
Has anyone else run in to this problem and found a solution?
The bug has been reported to facebook here: http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/471852109598483/
Hi i cannot for the life of me find a solution to this.. i have searched on ehre and tried every suggested solution for this issue...
nothing seems to work with a facebook/iframe combination
as this guy said
Unfortunately, it doesn't work, as well as many other solutions I tried: onload="window.parent.scroll(0,0);", document.getElementById("someTopDivId").scrollIntoView();, $(window/html/body).scrollTop(0);... Nothing seems to work with the Facebook iframe combination :( – BBog Dec 8 '11 at 9:40
from here
Scrolling to the top of a new opened page inside an iframe
problem is this
when user gets to bottom of page 1 (inside iframe) on facebook tab, and click "next page"
it then loads the page 2 into the iframe but in the same place eg at the bottom
and not the top
forcing user to scroll back up to the top to conuntinue reading page 2
there are MANY simialr questions but cant seem to find a solution
anyone know how to beat this issue?
would have thought its a pretty big one as iframe is being used by many in this way on FB
surely someone has fifgured this out?
appreciate any assistance!
just use FB JS SDK's FB.Canvas.ScrollTo.
see http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.Canvas.scrollTo/ for more info.
I implemented the like-button on the page http://www.racket-center.de on every subpage of this site. I noticed that it didn't show up on every page so I tried different implementation-versions (html5, iframe etc) but it didn't work. If I remember correctly the more I tried the less pages the button appeared on.
Now the button doesn't show up anymore – not even within the wizard at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ You can try it yourself: if you enter the URL of the site + then change another option to get the wizard checking the url the like-button will disappear.
I tried to debug via the linter and fixed some minor warnings it complained (e.g. adjusting the og:image-size to fit 200x200px) but that didn't bring back the button.
I guess the page is kind of blacklisted but I don't know + if it was blacklisted I don't know why.
Does anybody have a clue what might be going on here or kind point me to any resource about fb's blacklists?
Would be nice to get some help.
Thx,
Michael
On the facebook documentation page if you click the "Send" button in the default example, it pops open a new window that looks to be just the like/send button repeated.
I take it this is because it's broken in some way, either that or my browser (and that of my colleagues is severely broken)
Does anyone else suffer from the same fate? Does anyone have a fix?
Side note - on our website this was working fine yesterday, it appears to be a new issue.
There's a bug report about that: Send button opens new tab.
Also, looks like there are a few issues with the button as you can see in the bugs tagged with Send Button
I haven't voted you down (I rarely do), and I have no idea what were the reasons for that, but it is better to first research before asking a question here, as you can see it was easy to locate the bug(s) in the official facebook bugging report system, also if you search here you'll find more questions regarding this issue (and a few from today).
Yes, I have found that the code issued by Facebook for combination Send/Button is not working as of Sept. 27 2013. The Send button throws up a blank screen, instead of the Facebook email dialog box. This code from here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ did not work. Note this applies to JavaScript code, not old IFRAME code which is being deprecated.
