I am getting a javascript error for the FB Share button only in IE8.

  • 0

I am getting a javascript error for the FB Share button only in IE8. This started after the old Share button was disabled and subsequently re-enabled (see Facebook Share button: is it officially dead?)

The error I am getting is:

Message: Object doesn't support this property or method
FB.Share                                                    Line: 128
Code: 0                                                     Char: 188
URI: http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share

Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I used a slightly modified version of the answer in the link I gave originally:

    <html xmlns:fb="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#" lang="en">
  <head prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns# fb: http://ogp.me/ns/fb#">
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="fb-root"></div>
    <script>(function(d, s, id) {
      var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
      if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
      js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
      js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=YOUR_APP_ID"; // appId must be valid
      fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
    }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
    <fb:share-button type="button" href="http://www.foobar.com"></fb:share-button>
  </body>
