    I was having an issue with the Facebook Fanbox widget not showing at all in Internet Explorer 7 or 8. I solved it by opening the “facebook-fan-box-with-css-support.php” file (within said plugin’s folder), locating the code in the lower part of the php:

    <fb:fan profile_id="<?php echo $args['facebook-id'] ?>"
			css="<?php echo FANBOX_CSS_URI ?>?<?php echo $args['css-timestamp'] ?>"
			connections="<?php echo $args['number-of-connections'] ?>"
			stream="<?php echo $args['stream'] ?>"
			logobar="<?php echo $args['logobar'] ?>"
			width="<?php echo $args['width'] ?>px;"
			height="<?php echo $args['height'] ?>px;">
		</fb:fan>

    and adding this line:

    <html xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:fb="https://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">

    like so:

    <html xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:fb="https://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"><fb:fan profile_id="<?php echo $args['facebook-id'] ?>"
			css="<?php echo FANBOX_CSS_URI ?>?<?php echo $args['css-timestamp'] ?>"
			connections="<?php echo $args['number-of-connections'] ?>"
			stream="<?php echo $args['stream'] ?>"
			logobar="<?php echo $args['logobar'] ?>"
			width="<?php echo $args['width'] ?>px;"
			height="<?php echo $args['height'] ?>px;">
		</fb:fan></html>

    At least for me, the issue was resolved, and it showed perfectly in both IE 7 & 8. And so far, this fix doesn’t seem to break anything with the plugin itself otherwise.

    Just thought I’d let anyone who may be having this issue know ??
