Facebook not responding to Javascript API calls
Question
I am attempting to use Facebook's Javascript SDK to get a user's login status when my page is displayed.
The code I am using is as follows:
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
if (response.status == 'connected') {
alert('Logged in');
} else {
alert('Need to log in!');
}
});
I go through the Facebook initialization without problems, and the FB.getLoginStatus() function gets called, but apparently the Facebook server does not respond. I do not receive a response of any kind.
I did put my application's ID into the initialization function, and the initialization code is downloaded from Facebook. I am debugging on Firefox using Firebug, so I know the initialization is successful and the FB.getLoginStatus() call is being made. I am simply not getting the response back from the server.
Can anyone suggest any reasons why I am not getting this response? If so, please advise.
ADDITION:
In response to Sahil Mittal's request, the entire code is provided below. It should be noted that there really isn't much more to see...
<script type="text/javascript">
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : XXXXXXXXXXXX,
status : true,
xfbml : true
});
};
(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";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
if (response.status == 'connected') {
alert('Logged in');
} else {
alert('Need to Log In');
}
});
</script>
<body>
<div id="fb-root"></div>
...
</body>

credit for this answer should go to CBroe. I wish that CBroe had put this as an answer so that I could give proper credit.
Nevertheless, the answer to this question is to place all FB functions inside the window.fbAsyncInit() function, as in the following example:
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : XXXXXXXXXXXXX,
status : false,
xfbml : true
});
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
if (response.status == 'connected') {
alert('Logged in');
} else {
alert('Need to Log In');
}
});
};
This is not well documented on Facebook (what else is new???), so I am posting this so that other Facebook newbies can avoid the frustration and delay that I experienced.
Again: thanks should go to CBroe for this answer.
