How can I get the new Facebook Javascript SDK to work in IE8?
Try passing channelUrl param to your FB.init function and create channel.html file as suggested by ref link below:
They REALLY should publish this. But when working on you local server on a random port e.g 8080 you HAVE to use 127.0.0.1 and NOT localhost or else it won't work in IE.ALso ensure that your connect URL in the facebook application's settings is set to 127.0.0.1
I have been fiddling with my code for hours trying to figure this out. My situation is a bit different, but I feel it may be from the same problem:
Anytime I would execute commands under the FB.Event.Subscribe function, IE8 would execute my entire command before the trigger event had actually changed (e.g., when subscribed to 'auth.login', the cb function would execute before a user typed his/her username and password). Of course, my callback functions depended on data necessary after the user had logged in.
I test in IE, Firefox, and Chrome, and IE is the only browser giving me trouble. I, too, have my test site running under a port other than 80, but I haven't tried specific diagnostics yet to pinpoint the problem, although I'm fairly certain it relates to this.
Hopefully this helps anyone with similar issues at least be aware of other possible problems. Hope to find an answer or workaround soon!
