Hi David – I’m sure it’s set up differently on iframes than on fbml. It isn’t, however, something I have tested yet so I don’t have any answers for you.

I have tried to add the comments box to my custom iframe pages to limited success. I cannot control the width and they do not work in IE. I have also removed the scroll bars. Any thoughts?

Thank you in advance.

Aaah … yes, I’m aware of the problem. I’ve set up a new system for displaying code but haven’t fixed all of the articles. I’ll make a point to fix the more popular articles first.

Sorry I meant to paste the code at the bottom of my last reply. It comes right off your page above by copying and pasting:

You can’t hardly see the first quotation mark, but it is not the proper one. It is a close quote.

Kim,

What I mean is that quotation marks come in pairs; the first quote “opens” the quote and the second one “closes” the quote. In certain fonts, they look identical. Your second quotation mark below is of the generic type. The first one however is distinguishable because its font is different (you need to magnify your code below to see what I’m talking about). That first mark is the type used to close a quotation. If someone simply copies and pastes the code straight off your page above, it won’t work. But, if they type the code in, they will put in the proper quotation marks and it will work.

Hi Ed – Maybe. I have quotes in the example on my demo Facebook page and it’s works fine.

Thanks, very useful. I spent 3 hrs looking for this answer. However, the reason it’s not working for some of these people is they are cutting and pasting and you used closed quotes on both sides of the i.d. If they type it in or change the quotes after pasting, it should work.

Hi Shrawan – The linked stylesheet might be the problem – I’ve found that inline styling usually works best.

Hi Keith – Do you have any additional information such as the web browser you are using? Did you double check the page ID that you are using?
