The site I am working on uses Facebook Javascript SDK, as described here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/, to allow users to login. The site is an ASP.NET MVC site.
It works on latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari and also IE9.
However in windows 8 consumer preview using IE10 (in normal and compatibility mode) when logging into Facebook the popup window goes white and doesn’t close. If close manually and refresh the original page I see that I am logged in.
I have looked through all other SO questions and searched the web. I have tried all the solutions and none of them work.
I am using the channelUrl correctly and it works in the other browsers. I also tried the IE10 bug fix here http://www.hanselman.com/blog/BugAndFixASPNETFailsToDetectIE10CausingDoPostBackIsUndefinedJavaScriptErrorOrMaintainFF5ScrollbarPosition.aspx
There really isn’t much different from my code and the Facebook examples. So I think there is either a problem with IE10 or the Facebook API when using IE10.
Has anyone had similar problems and found a solution?
The problem was in the HTML. The meta tag for http-equiv was set to
This causes IE10 to display the web page in IE8 mode. Changed this to 9 as it was meant to be and the Facebook popup box disapears.
