Facebook / Twitter “Like” buttons in pure html

Question

I am trying to add generic buttons to my simple site ...

• Is it possible to make a Facebook “like” button in pure html?

• Is it possible to make the twitter button as “clean”?

Answer 1

From the documentation for Facebook developers, paste the following into the markup body:

<iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=YOUR_URL" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; width:450px; height:80px"></iframe> 

(Make sure you close the iframe tag, it is left open on the facebook website.)

And for twitter (found on forum ):

 <a href="https://twitter.com/home?status=Enter status message here" title="Click to send this page to Twitter!" target="_blank">Tweet This!</a> 

Answer 2

The Tweet button is the recommended method for twitter, although a simple link like this also works if you want to share the link:

• http://twitter.com/share?url=http://example.com&text=Some%20tweet%20text

Similarly, http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u= allows you to share URLs.

There are probably more ways to share without using JavaScript (I remember some function that pre-sets the tweet text on the Twitter homepage but cannot find it right now).
