I'm in Firefox 8.0 as of yesterday and I see the FB Like button just fine here.

After upgrading firefox, I can now see the FB like button on the test page. Getting it to work on my home page is another story; no joy. After adding the FB code, I see nothing on firefox, and errors on IE & chrome. I have attached a couple of screen shots.

Did you adjust the code that I provided to your url?

Me thinks the problem is the URL. I used the URL on the Yowzers facebook page, which should be http://www.facebook.com/yowzers.usa, but that didn't work for me. What URL did you use in your sample code? I tried that code and it worked.

Try changing bold part to fit your site.

<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fprogrower.coffeecup.com/shop/&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;font&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=35" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:35px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

FINALLY I got it to work by using your code & subbing yowzers . usa. I'm not sure why it works for your site, because if I sub yowzers.com, that does not work. Now I guess I have to paste that code in 100's of times (once for each product) unless you know of a way to do it globally. Here is how it looks on a product page: http://yowzers.com/viewitem.php?productid=662

You could try putting it in the footer area and using code to force it's position but it would have to be forced to an area that's consistent from page to page.

I recently realized (as best as I can tell) the like button is just for the web site, and not for the products. That being the case, I would only need it on the home page. Anyway, thanks for all your help.

And if this helps anybody, I noticed that when I add a Facebook Like Box Plugin it doesn't show up in the quick preview (far right icon button in CoffeeCup Window). But if I actually upload it to my website, it works and I can see it there.

I use the free ShareThis program in the footer of my site so people can post to email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. The best part is I only had to enter the code once, but no matter what page you are on it shares that exact one. Category, home, item, awesome!
