Click on the Like button using jQuery

I look at the Facebook Developer Documentation to find a sample code that would allow me to capture the click event on the Like button. It states:

If you are using the XFBML button version, you can subscribe to the "edge.create" event through FB.Event.subscribe.

I do not use XFBML, but this is my code:

<div class="social_net_button facebook_button">
      <div id="fb-root"></div>
      <script>(function(d, s, id) {
              var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
              if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
              js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
              js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
              fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);

              FB.Event.subscribe('edge.create',
                     function(response) {
                          alert('You liked the URL: ' + response);
                     }
              );

            }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
      <div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ayrshire-Minis/160330240663397" data-send="false" data-layout="button_count" data-width="70" data-show-faces="false" data-action="recommend"></div>
    </div>

Can I click the "Like" button with jQuery?

The solution seems to send the request asynchronously. This code below works when placed after my fb-likediv class :

     <script>
           window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
                   FB.init({
                                           status: true, // check login status
                                           cookie: true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
                                           xfbml: true  // parse XFBML
                                   });
           };
     </script>
     <script type="text/javascript">
           window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
             FB.Event.subscribe('edge.create',
                     function(response) {
                           _gaq.push(['_trackSocial', 'facebook', 'like', document.location.href]);
                     }
             );
           };
     </script>

You can try this.

http://jsfiddle.net/qkyAe/

: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.Event.subscribe/

FB.Event.subscribe('edge.create', function(response) {
    console.log('clicked');
});​

, , ( ). FB, . , , :)

Update:

FB script, .

This code REALLY works :)

<script type='text/javascript'>//<![CDATA[ 
window.addEvent('load', function() {
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
    FB.init({
        appId: '42424242424242',
        status: true,
        cookie: true,
        xfbml: true,
        oauth: true
    });
    FB.Event.subscribe('edge.create', function(response) {
        alert('You liked the URL: ' + response);
    });
};
(function(d) {
    var js, id = 'facebook-jssdk';
    if (d.getElementById(id)) {
        return;
    }
    js = d.createElement('script');
    js.id = id;
    js.async = true;
    js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js";
    d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(js);
}(document));
});//]]>  

</script>


         <div id="fb-root"></div> 
         <div class="box">
             <p>First a Like Box of a facebook page</p>
             <p class="info">edge.create is not called</p>
             <div class="fb-like-box" data-href="http://www.facebook.com/jsfiddle" data-width="292" data-show-faces="true" data-stream="false" data-header="true"></div>
         </div>
         <div class="box">
             <p>Like Button of a website</p>
             <p class="info">here you can see the edge.create fire</p>
             <div class="fb-like" data-href="http://jsfiddle.net" data-send="false" data-width="150" data-show-faces="true"></div>
         </div>
         <div class="box">
             <p>Like Button of a Facebook Page</p>
             <p class="info">here you can see the edge.create fire</p>
             <div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.facebook.com/jsfiddle" data-send="false" data-width="150" data-show-faces="true"></div>
         </div>
         <div style="clear:both;"></div>

Make sure the call is FB.Event.subscribe('edge.create')right after init (inside the function window.fbAsyncInit, not outside it)

Example

window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
    FB.init({
      appId      : 'YOUR_APP_ID', // App ID
      channelUrl : '//WWW.YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/channel.html', // Channel File
      status     : true, // check login status
      cookie     : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
      xfbml      : true  // parse XFBML
    });

    /* Additional initialization code here
    ******************************************************/
};

... then download the SDK asynchronously!
