Adding margins to the style usually helps. If it isn’t changing anything something else is conflicting with the code or there is a caching issue.

I have put the facebook button on my site but I can not make it go where I want it. I have tried all sorts of html codes to move it but it is stuck. Any suggestions?

Heather – Facebook is getting rid of the share button. I don’t think it can be customized in the way that you want.

Can you tell me how I can insert just the F in the box to my site, rather than including the words ‘like’ or ‘send’ also?
Can I just do this by myself or does Facebook supply the code for this too?
Thanks so much.

The Share button doesn’t work very well on a tab anymore as Facebook has been phasing out share for like. A share button will share the entire tab – not just specific content within the tab.

Thanks Tim!

I think share will be going away although a lot of people still want to use it.

Hi folks, Over on the HyperArts Blog we’ve posted a couple tutorials that may be of help here. I know the Share Button FBML tag is not as dependable as it once was, and this is likely due to Facebook’s phasing out of FBML and encouraging folks to use iFrame apps for their custom tabs.

Here’s our tutorial on adding a Share Button (classic style) on an iFrame tab:

An article on how to control the image and text that populates a status-update dialog box: martiniti.me/k7oCrW

And, finally, my final word on FBML and Static FBML (move on!): martiniti.me/k3kaLX

Cheers, Tim

Not sure why the system is unable to find that url. Anyway I am trying to the second share box, but my image would not come up and it’s one that I have saved on facebook.

Thanks for your response. I think in my case the problem is, that I didn’t have the in my section. The page I want to share is within an facebook app and I can not modifie the header. The function “profile_setInfoOptions” is not supported anymore, so I go that way.

Why my picture shows up in the “post to profile” popup?
Because I just put in a link to an image, but this image is not on the facebook app page I want to share. The picture doesn’t work on the wall that way, because I think the informations on the users wall need to be on the site I share.

Unfortunately this is not a solution I just wanted to share my problem :) Perhaps Matt, this is a explanation why It doesn’t work for you as well.
