I have a like box setup in my website using the following code as exampled by Facebook.

<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script>
<fb:like-box href="http://www.facebook.com/platform" width="292" show_faces="true" stream="true" header="true"></fb:like-box>

It works in all browsers (Chrome, Safari, Opera, Firefox, IE7, IE8) but not IE9. On inspecting the code it still reads the same as above, whereas the others get replaced with an iFrame.

I have also tried adding the following line to the html element, although this did not help.

xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

The iframe version of the like box does however work, but XFBML is more desired.

    Not sure why it is not working in IE9, but changing the document mode to IE8 will make it work -you can do that by adding this to the head section

    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" >
