Question

Does anyone have any tricks to aligning these two buttons on a page? By default the iframe version of the facebook like button appears below the google plus button or vice versa. Are there any css tricks to keep them inline?

This is my current attempt

<div style="float:left;width:100px;">
    <!-- Place this tag where you want the +1 button to render -->
    <g:plusone></g:plusone>

    <!--  Place this tag after the last plusone tag -->
    <script type="text/javascript">
        (function() {
            var po = document.createElement('script'); po.type = 'text/javascript'; po.async = true;
            po.src = 'https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js';
            var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s);
        })();
    </script>
</div>
<div style="float:left;width:auto;">
    <iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fmy_site&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=350&amp;action=like&amp;font=lucida+grande&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=40" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:350px; height:30px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
</div>  

Answer 1

Put them in a list – here’s what i done (excuse the jsp)

<ul class="like-buttons">
<li class="g-plus-one">
    <g:plusone count="false"></g:plusone>
</li>
<li class="twitter-like">
    <a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-url="<%= url %>" data-count="none">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
</li>   

<li class="fb-like">
    <iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=<%= facebookUrl %>&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;font=arial&amp;colorscheme=dark&amp;height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:350px; height:30px; color:#fff!important;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
</li>

And the css:

ul.like-buttons{
float: left;
list-style: none;
margin: 5px 0 20px 0;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
}

ul.like-buttons li{
    display: block;
    float: left;
    margin-right: 10px;
}
li.twitter-like{
    margin-top: 2px;
}
