Small detail that Tom pointed out; I forgot to add it to Simple Header:
  • Make sure all templates and template modules (Header, Simple Header, etc.) use xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml" in the opening <HTML> tag. This makes IE happy.
Now the Connect with Facebook image shows up, and I can login and post a comment with Facebook with IE 7. However I see some strange things (who would have thought). Firstly, Facebook profile pictures are not being brought in.

ie-error4.gifEven worse is trying to Sing Out of Facebook. Something is not correct here. Hope I find an answer soon. When you click Sing Out, you see this ugly dialog box, Operation aborted.

ie-error.gifOnce you click OK, you see the normal Facebook dialog that says you have been logged out of both sites. But then Internet Explorer shows you this, which is the correct URL, though IE tells me the page is unavailable if I delete #_logout from the URL. It is, in a new IE tab, it pulls up just fine. The tab I hit Log Out will not display the site at all, not even the root of the site.

ie-error3.gifIf I go to the new tab I made, I am in fact logged out of Facebook and can login again if I wish. This reproduces the same issue making that tab in IE unusable. So this is an issue I can reproduce. Like I said, hope to get an answer to this one soon.
Today while testing Facebook Connect on Windows  - something I just love to do - I found that the "Connect with Facebook" image that facilitates the authentication process is missing in IE 7. Take a look below:

no-facebook-ie.gifThis has got to be why I had a few friends last night that could not sign in with Facebook, they were using Internet Exploder, sorry, I mean Explorer.  I have yet to test this on IE 6 or IE 8 beta 2. I need to go fire up Parallels and do that. Anyways, as a comparison shot, and I cannot simply have a post with only a screen capture of IE, here is what Firefox looks like in Windows:

facebook-ff.gifI am not sure which is more evil, Internet Explorer or Facebook. 11,800,000 results for "facebook evil" and only 2,310,000 for "internet explorer evil," so Facebook FTW!

Oh, and for those counting at home, this is Gotcha #4 for me.
