facebook fan box

[Chadi]

I inserted the code for facebook fan box in one of the forum blocks.

Problem is that it causes the horizontal scrollbar in the site to appear. Once the FB code is removed entirely, scrollbar disappears too. Reducing the width in the code doesn't do anything odd enough. I've tried widths as small as 200.

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

<div class="fb-like-box" align="center" data-href="http://www.facebook.com/talkjesus" data-width="230" data-height="480" data-show-faces="true" data-border-color="#ffffff" data-stream="false" data-header="false"></div>

Would appreciate help on this. Thanks

HTML or php what one did you pick

[Chadi]

I chose html since there is no php in the code

Can someone please assist me on this? Thank you

I know there is no php in it but I am sure there is a php version

I can tell you right off the bat that that code will cause issues on your site if you are also using Facebook Connect. You cannot have two tags with the same id on a page.

Thanks Lynne. Any way to work around this?

Just change the id on this snippet. That may mean you need to write some custom css since there may be css written for that id already.

I just tried your code on my test site and I do not get a scroll bar at all. Can we get a link to see the problem on your site?
