I have been using the same function to generate twitter status URL's, but now when they are clicked, no status appears in the box in twitter.
The following is an example of what my URL's look like (using copy link location)
http://twitter.com/home?status=Just%20reading%20%27H.M%20Naqvi%20wins%20the%20DSC%20Prize%20for%20South%20Asian%20Literature%27%20http%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2F4c5mrex%20%40%09SthAsianLitFest%20
Does seem broken on Chrome.
Use this instead? http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=foo

I've got a simple MVC web page that pops up a dialogue box with a list of hyperlinks to files. They're properly prefixed with "file://" and the links work properly if copied to the clipboard and pasted into a browser window. However, from within the dialogue, clicking on the linked files returns... nothing.
Nothing at all happens. The behavior is identical in Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Chrome. No warnings, errors, etc.
Visually my dialogue looks like this:
If I "inspect element" on one of the links, for example, the top one for "javascript notes.txt", it looks like this:
This IS a valid hyperlink. As mentioned above, I can copy the link into the address bar of a browser and the linked file opens fine. I can also copy the full HTML of the element into notepad, wrapped in tags and save as an .html file, and the link works just fine from there. The links just don't work in the dialogue--from any browser.
I'm displaying the links in a Kendo grid currently. Thinking that might be a problem, I got rid of the grid temporarily and tried displaying them in a plain HTML . Same problem--clicking on the links produces no result at all.
Am I fighting something deeper here? Like, I'm using a jquery dialogue to show the list. do jquery dialogues do something to block hyperlinks from working?
TIA for any help.
As per Amy's comment on the original question, browsers seem to block the file:// links when opening from a page retrieved via http. The workaround I implemented came from the excellent article linked below: I coded a simple action method in a controller that returns not a view but a File, and changed the hyperlinks to invoke that controller method via http. Works like a charm.

I'm a beginner in facebook.
I try to add the facebook comments box to each of my blog post, i limit it to show 2 comments from the plugins, from the facebook comments box plugin site, they set the url to example.com and it show a whole different UI from what i got.
More importantly, there is no view XX comments after 2nd comment, even i added 20 comments to it.
May i know how can i solve it? is it some setting that i need to set in my facebook app or use the graph api, i know that i can get the json from the facebook graph site as mentioned in the facebook blog developers.facebook.com/blog/post/490/
if i need to solve using json way, how do i append the remaining comments inside the website where it is using iframe.
i wish to have a easier solution like just changing setting inside my facebook app, rather than code an "View xx comments" button to do ajax call and append the result to the dom myself.
I have found the funny site there :D
On your facebook chat dialog, you can push the emoticon photo code with the text on photo description like some facebook api code.
By using FB Photo Zoom google chrome plug-in, when I drag on each position on emoticon, they contain many emoticon codes like [[xxxxxxxxx]]
So my question is: how does the mechanism of Facebook chat allow users to post photos like this? Can we make the local images for use like this?
Those are not emoticon codes, they're simple FB page or profile IDs.
e.g.
[[youtube]] // go to facebook.com/youtube
[[100001939588739]] // go to http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001939588739
[[biker.abhinav]] // go to http://facebook.com/bikerabhinav
All those rage faces, or any image which get replaced are actually page/profiles. [[xxxx]] just shows their thumbnail image.
My guess is that there is javascript that replaces those codes with images stored on the server (the code is obfuscated, so I can't be sure).
You could do the same, you would just have to host the images yourself, and write a simple javascript file.
My websites are generated by vistaprint and facebook, so I have no access to the html. So how can I add the code which is provided to me for the Facebook like button?
After a quick google search:
On your VistaPrint dashboard, go to insert extras, click on HTML and paste in the HTML code you got from facebook.
It's on developers.facebook.com and you just need to poke around for the Like button.
EDIT:
Or just Google it. First result for facebook like button:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
To customize and get code.
Every time I try to embed code that was recommended by another user, I get the same message: Could not retrieve id for the specified page. Please verify correct href was passed in.
All I want is something on my page that a reader can click to take them to my Facebook page. What am I doing wrong?
You can create a personal username for your account on facebook, check Facebook Usernames general information, creating a username will provide you with a custom url something like
www.facebook.com/YOURUSERNAMEHERE
you can easily add this to your blog by using the following html
Follow me on facebook
It would also be helpful if you post the code that you're trying to use currently, otherwise no one has any idea what you're trying to do.
If you just want a link in HTML to your facebook page, put this into your page:
My Facebook Page
The section that goes within the quotes should be the URL you see when you navigate to your Facebook page.
Are you talking about a Page or Profile?
For Pages, the Like Box plugin is probably the best option, and lets people like the Page right from your website: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
For your own Profile, there's Badges ( https://www.facebook.com/badges/ ) which you can use
If it's your own Profile and you want people to Subscribe to you ('Follow') - there's a subscribe button you can use for this: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/subscribe/
i dont know why, but for some reason, you have to include the http:// before the link
