How to hide iframe with FB Like button on click?

Question

I'm using this code (standard FB Like):

<div id="like"><iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fpage%2Fto%2Flike&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe></div>

I need to hide the complete div (or iframe) when the user clicks on it.

I tried the onclick event but it didn't work inside iframe.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

You could do something like this:

HTML:

<div id="like"><iframe id="facebookFrame" src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fpage%2Fto%2Flike&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe></div>

Javascript:

document.getElementById('facebookFrame').contentWindow.document.body.onclick = 
function() {
  // hide your iframe here or do whatever
  document.getElementById('facebookFrame').style.display = "none";
  alert("iframe was clicked");
}

I havent done it yet. Just found a good resource http://softwareas.com/cross-domain-communication-with-iframes

maybe like that

parent.frames[1].location.href -> set to own url plus #anyanchor

so it wont be reloaded, then access the js function of main window

document.getElementById('facebookFrame').style.display = "none";

Answer 3

Realistically I think that your best bet is to place another, this time transparent, div over the iframe. Set your click handler on that.

You can also try this solution:

FB.Event.subscribe('edge.create', function(href, widget) {
        your call back function to hide the iframe
});
