I’m using the FB Share plugin on a facebook tab, so this is just inside the body tag:

<div id="sharebtn">
<fb:share-button href="path-to-redirect-url.html">      </fb:share-button>
</div>

The redirect is a go-between page with the meta information I want the pop-up to be filled with, and it forwards the user to the full address of the tab the user is sharing.

basic fb.init:

<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script> 
<script>
  FB.init({
    appId  : '12345668blahblah',
    status : true, // check login status
    cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
    xfbml  : true, // parse XFBML
     channelUrl : 'channelurlblahblah.php', // 
    oauth  : true // enable OAuth 2.0
  });

So the thing is, it works properly (display) in all browsers when you view the tab contents in isolation, ie:

And it works if you view the tab (via iframe) in facebook, in all browsers except, you guessed it, IE.

Why isn’t the share button showing up in IE, when viewed through the FB iframe?

    I think some versions of IE require <html xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
