Question

I am trying to display a Facebook user’s profile picture using XFBML. I am using the following code:

var container = document.getElementById('profilePicture'); var profilePic = new FB.XFBML.ProfilePic(container); //profilePic.setAttribute('uid', userId); FB.XFBML.Host.addElement(profilePic); 

How do I set the uid attribute of the element? (the commented line does not work)

Answer 1

Set the attribute before sending it to ProfilePic for processing:

var container = document.getElementById('profilePicture'); container.setAttribute('uid', userId); var profilePic = new FB.XFBML.ProfilePic(container); FB.XFBML.Host.addElement(profilePic);
