[SOLVED] Facebook Connect / Graph - problems in Internet Explorer with fb:login dialog (not closing)

Facebook Connect / Graph - problems in Internet Explorer with fb:login dialog (not closing)

I am trying to get the facebook connect stuff working on my localhost. In FireFox and Chrome it works perfectly. In Internet Explorer:

an error appears in the connect dialog. This is:

Invalid Argument The Facebook Connect cross-domain receiver URL (http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect/xd_proxy.php#?=&cb=f1e33405f2824e9&origin=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Ff78888c44d2c37&relation=opener&transport=flash&frame=f144cb110fc0cc&result=xxRESULTTOKENxx) must have the application's Connect URL (http://localhost:8080/) as a prefix. You can configure the Connect URL in the Application Settings Editor.
when the authentication succeeds Internet Explorer redirects in the popup to a page on localhost i.e. my facebook connect URL. With Chrome and Firefox it closes the popup and allows the handler to reload the page.

This is very frustrating, as the behaviour in Chrome and Firefox is perfect. Please can you provide some advice - I really am stuck with this. My HTML code is below:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" 
xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"
xml:lang="en" lang="en">

<fb:login-button></fb:login-button>


<div id="fb-root"></div>
        <script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>
        <script>
        FB.init({appId: 'MY_APP_ID', status: true, cookie: true,xfbml: true});
        FB.Event.subscribe('auth.login', function(response) {
                window.location.reload();
            });


        </script>

Thank you.

Solution

I think this is a bug in the facebook javascript (details in the forum post).

I found a workaround: Using http://127.0.0.1:8080/ in the browser instead of http://localhost:8080/ appears to work in all three of Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome.
