How to customize a Facebook Send Button?

facebook

Solution

You cannot customise the `<fb:send />` button. However, you can achieve the same functionality using `FB.ui` (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.ui/). Use the `send` method, eg.

FB.ui({
    method: 'send',
    name: 'People Argue Just to Win',
    link: 'http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/15/arts/people-argue-just-to-win-scholars-assert.html',
});

Problem

I'm trying to customize the appearance of a facebook 'Send' button. I generate the button using the code provided in the docs, however I don't have a clue of how I could modify the button's image or text ? Could anyone give me an example? I guess javascript is my only option here? My code looks like this right now: ``` <fb:send href="http://www.mywebsite.com/something"></fb:send> ``` This generates a button that looks like this: Thanks!
