I am having trouble getting consistent behaviour from my Facebook Like button. I have created this example which I believe to be the simplest possible implementation...
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
<head>
<title>Untitled Page</title>
<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<fb:like href="http://www.stackoverflow.com" layout="button_count" show_faces="false" width="450" font=""></fb:like>
</body>
</html>
I have saved this as an HTML file which I am serving from a webserver running on my machine (localhost - I assume this won't be a problem as the page I'm 'liking' in this example is public-facing).
If I try this in Google Chrome, it appears to work without a problem.
When I try it in IE9, the like button renders, but when I click it, a new IE window opens which is mostly blank apart from a blue Facebook header. The URL of this page is: http://www.facebook.com/connect/connect_to_external_page_widget_loggedin.php?social_plugin=like&external_page_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stackoverflow.com%2F
This is really confusing me as the example is about as simple as it gets! Any help would be really appreciated!
EDIT: A little more information. If I go to Facebook in IE9 and log-out, then try my like button again, a new window still opens but this time I can login. After logging in, though, I still get taken to the same blank page.
In desperation, I tried accessing my local page from http://127.0.0.1 instead of http://localhost
This appears to have solved (or at least worked around) the problem.
I would love to hear from anyone who can explain what this is all about!!

According to the documentation and many posts, the tag
must save a file, however for me it just opens an image in a browser: chrome, firefox, safari.
download. Prompts the user to save the linked URL instead of navigating to it.
What should I do to force downloading to a drive, without JS?
Minimum working example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
</head>
<body>
download
</body>
</html>
This link might be helpful . From Chrome 65+ download tag is discontinued. It is accepted only when it is from the same origin.
Problem here is, It uses JS. So, It is not completely independent of JS.
The twitter timeline is not shown properly in the web browser even though it is the original code from the twitter publish website.
At first the timeline was shown as it should. Somehow after I refreshed the site with F5 it didn't work at all. Somehow at the X time I refreshed it worked. When I restarted my computer and wanted to work on the file again it didn't work. I'm not an expert on HTML but I think the problem may be in the script tag.
I looked up other questions here on stackoverflow but none of them helped me. My code had no problems before I tried out without the timeline.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/ErinCorleyGray/lists/stackers?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">A Twitter List by ErinCorleyGray</a>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</body>
</html>
A timeline of the twitter list should be displayed instead I get only the text: "A twitter list by ..."
I just pasted your code onto a new html document and viewed it on my Chrome browser and I did not have an issue with viewing the timeline. I have attached a screenshot of what I see. Maybe it is a browser issue? screenshot of the top of the page
I have the following simple HTML code, the code runs correctly using the run snippet and in Internet Explorer. However, if I copy this code, save it to text.html and try to run it in Chrome the image doesn't appear.
What is the nature of this problem? And, how do I fix it?
<!DOCTYPE html>

If you have AdBlocker enabled it's blocking the image probably as it contains word "banner". Image displays as intended on incognito window.
On an https website contents from an http website will not be loaded in all browsers, which is the case here (in the snippet on SO at least). (might also depend on personal browser settings)
I got a code that refreshes the html page as per the seconds I desire. I am on an Mac and I use the TextEdit app to make the HTML file. This code works for www.apple.com but it does not work for say, https://www.bitcointalk.org or http://www.macrumors.com.
I am not sure why this is happening. All I am doing is replacing the apple URL with bitcointalk url. I know I can also do this refreshing via Safari extension, but I need this code to work.
Thanks a lot
The code I am using is:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5">
</head>
<FRAMESET>
<FRAME src="http://www.apple.com/">;
</FRAMESET>
</html>
EDIT: What I am trying to do is, create this html and move it to my iPhone, so that I can do the web refresh through my phone. Right now there are only paid apps in the App store that lets you refresh a page automatically every few seconds/minute and they are not really that good.
As #esqew pointed out in their comment, the sites that aren't showing up forbid access via frames by setting the X-Frame-Options HTTP header to DENY or SAMEORIGIN.

Ridiculous simple HTML-file:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; URL=./test.html">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello World</h1>
</body>
</html>
When I open the file with any browser, the browsers behave well and reload the page every 5 seconds.
But when I refresh the page manually between two refreshes (F5), the IE (V 8.0.6001.18702) doesn't evaluate the meta tag anymore and the page gets no longer refreshed. Opera, FF and Safari still work as expected and refresh every 5 seconds.
Has anybody else experienced such a problem? How (apart of using Javascript, of course) could this issue be solved?
Edit 1:
Verified this behavior also on IE6, so I guess it's a general IE problem. Any hints how to overcome this?
Edit 2:
To keep that topic going:
is that a known problem or would it
be worth to file a bug ticket
somewhere (where?)?
Could someone
verify that behavior with IE7 and/or
IE9?
In IE 9 it works fine.
P.S. you missed a few quotation marks should be:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;" URL="./test.html">
As far as i know theres only the mta or javascript way.
Another option might be to use
header("Location: url");
if you can use php, its not really a refresh in it common way, but you could use to redirect to the same page again
As with the meta way, did you tried to put a full url? ( IE, arrg )
Generally speaking, use of the non-standard META-REFRESH is frowned upon by the standards bodies. Having said that, did you try with a fully qualified URL instead of the relative URL? If you're trying to reload the same page over and over again, did you try omitting the URL entirely?
Use this, I suspect your URL is not setup correctly
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
This always refresh itself.
Hope helps
:)
Javascript is going to be your friend for this one... it ends up working a lot better across browsers for the most part. Besides, meta-refresh is going out of style.
The following script and body onload attribute will continuously refresh the page every 5 seconds.
<html>
<head>
<script>
function timedRefresh(timeoutPeriod) {
setTimeout("location.reload(true);",timeoutPeriod);
}
</script>
<noscript>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5" />
</noscript>
</head>
<body onload="javascript:timedRefresh(5000)">
<!-- Content -->
</body>
</html>
