Viewing Facebook widget for mobile

Facebook widget for mobile



User: Christopher 11 years ago
Thanks to the Inspector tip, I know what my next problem is. The FB like widget – button count, share enabled, no faces – is 300px wide, regardless of what I set my html parameters for. It's default setting is 90px wide x 20px high. It spills over the right edge of my mobile page reducing the overall dimensions of the page when published.

Here's my link.

Set the width of the facebook iframe to 200px, as in this style.

style="border:none; overflow:hidden; height:20px; width: 200px;"

To prevent all objects on a page overflowing the width of the page, add this to the head code box of the page or the Site.

<style>

div.container {
overflow: hidden;
}

</style>

If you already have custom styles there, add the style to it without the <style></style>.

The widget dimensions are set at 300px and can't be changed. So I added the overflow:hidden code to the head code site box and it worked like a charm. Thank you sir!

Paul and team - take note.

Me again. I just discovered the same problem on my desktop site when viewed on an iPad. Roddy's mantra "Test, test, test!" could not be truer. Because on a laptop or desktop monitor the problem is not noticeable. So, I assume I can add the same code to my desktop site to resolve this issue. But it makes me wonder why overflow: hidden is not just added by default. Or whether there could be a fix with the FB widget.

It is but it doesn't have any effective when the code is added to EverWeb because the parent div overflows.

Adding a general rule to hide overflow is not a brilliant idea. The problem should be tackled at the source. I have sent you a modified widget. It's named "Facebook Button" so that you won't confuse it with the original.
