facebook javascript sdk fb_xd_fragment??

Question

Hi guys,

I am using the facebook javascript sdk to embed a like button in my page.

What is fb_xd_fragment??? I see it appends to the end of my url like http://www.mysite.com/controller/?fb_xd_fragment, and this is causing some nasty recursive reload of the page.

Cheers

James
