Facebook Comment Box Callback on Load?

Question

I can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for in the docs, and I'm using one of these on a site, but I need to update a previously assigned variable in my JS once the comment box loads completely. Where or how would I go about doing this?

Answer 1

The only thing that I can think of that might do the trick is to subscribe to the xfbml.render event.

It's done like this:

FB.Event.subscribe("xfbml.render", function(response) {
  // do what ever
});

The documentation says:

fired when a call to FB.XFBML.parse() completes.

So I'm not sure if it will work with existing xfbml/html5 code in the dom that is then being rendered when the FB.init kicks in. If it does not, you may want to call FB.XFBML.parse manually instead.

Hope this helps.
