Facebook Like and preview - Post ID...

For some reason when I add an iframe (for the Facebook Like button) the preview does not work. The website displays just fine when I open the live version in my browser.

Any thoughts?

I've seen this with facebook and Google plus. Both in the HTML editor and VSD.:) Do you have the latest HTML editor?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

I think that I'm having the same problem--I have the latest VSD but no matter how I word the URL for the code, it keeps saying in the preview that the webpage can't be found. Exactly how should I be working the URL?

Thanks!!

Thanks, but I looked at the site and still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. The code that I'm using is below. Am I missing something obvious?

Never mind...the code for some reason was leaving out the http. Once I added it in, it worked fine. Thanks so much for your help and the link!

Eric, I have the latest version of the HTML editor. I will check my code to see if my issue is the same as Margaret's (missing http)

I checked and my code is already including the 'http' and the preview does not work. Below is the code. Again, everything works fine on the live website.

I don't think this will fix anything, but you might want to check the above height number that is in bold, I'm pretty sure it should have quotation marks on both sides of the number like:

height="35"
