Hi,

I'm having a problem with the height of the Facebook Like button. I use the XFBML version with this tag

<fb:like layout="standard" show_faces="true" width="440" action="recommend" colorscheme="light"></fb:like>

On some sites, the height of the iframe which contains the button is dynamic. It has the height of 61px, when there are "faces" to display and 23px when there are no faces to display. This changes dynamcally when the user presses the like button (and a his face appears undes the button).

Examples of sites where this works:

Unfortunately, when I try to insert the tag into my page, the height of the iframe is set to 80px and it doesn't change.

My current solution is to set the height of the box to 23px and set the overflow CSS property of its container to hidden. But with this solution I lose the ability to show faces.

This problem is already posted here on Stack Overflow, but with no solution. - stackoverflow.com/questions/2777196/facebook-like-button-fblike-height-always-80px

I've spent about 6 hours trying to figure this problem out. But I still think there must be a simple solution for this.

Thanks for any suggestions.
