I’m using the Facebook Send button and I put the following on my page that shows the Send button:

EDIT: I have added to the code here the top of the html section of the page:

 <html
     xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
     xmlns:og="http://ogp.me/ns#"
     xmlns:fb="https://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">


 <head>
  <meta property="og:url" content="http://www.thesite.com/theHomePage.php"/>
  <meta property="og:title" content="Thesite is now live with a Send button!"/>
  <meta property="og:image" content="http://www.thesite.com/images/logo.png"/>
  <meta property="og:description" content="This is test description verbiage"/>

EDIT: I added below the Send button code:

  <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";
            fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); 
        }
        (document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
       </script>

           <div class="fb-send" data-href="http://www.thesite.com"></div>

When I use the Facebook debugger at http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/, it tells me this:

    Raw Open Graph Document Information


   Meta Tag: <meta property="og:url" content="http://www.thesite.com/theHomePage.php" />
   Meta Tag: <meta property="og:title" content="Thesite is now live with a Send button!" />
   Meta Tag: <meta property="og:image" content="http://www.thesite.com/images/logo.png" />
   Meta Tag: <meta property="og:description" content="his is test description verbiage" />

The Facebook debugger clearly sees my Meta tags and the debugger doesn’t report any problems with theHomePage.php.

So here’s the problem: When I click on the ‘Send’ button and the send dialog box appears:

  • my ‘logo.png’ image is missing (despite the fact that the logo.png images DOES appear in the debugger)

  • the ‘Message’ field is empty — shouldn’t that be filled with my og:description verbiage text?

  • the wrong page title appears on the bottom of the Send dialog box

  • and the URL shown is not http://www.thesite.com/theHomePage.php — instead the URL shown is
    http://www.thesite.com/

Is there something else I need to do here so that my meta tags show up on the ‘Send’dialog box when the
Send button is clicked?

    Based on the info you gave in the question I assume that the url you debug is http://www.thesite.com/theHomePage.php and for that you get the expected data based on the og tags.

    But from the code of the send button you gave the url of http://www.thesite.com/ which is a different url.
    Try to debug that url and see what you get.

    Facebook index the data based on urls, and so any small difference in urls result in a different object in the graph.
    Because of that you need to put the exact url in the data-href attribute.
