Menu
I cannot get the FB Like button and the Tweet button to display next to each other!!
HTML:
<div class="grid_3 social">
<ul>
<li>
<fb:like href="http://{{ request.get_host }}{{ post.get_absolute_url }}" layout="button_count" show_faces="false" width="450" font=""></fb:like>
</li>
<li>
<a href="http://twitter.com/share?url={{ "http://localhost:8000"|urlencode }}{{ post.get_absolute_url }}&text=mytext" class="twitter-share-button">Tweet</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS:
.social {
float: right;
}
.social ul {
list-style: none outside none;
display: inline;
}
.social li {
display: inline;
}
I tried every combination I can think of to no avail. Help please!! CSS will be the death of me...
While we're on the subject of these buttons, we all know they double and triple your page's load time because they make a lot of JS calls, especially when you're on something like a blog index page. Anyone have any ideas on how to remedy this situation? I'm already using Disqus, and now adding FB and Twitter my index page can take up to 5 seconds to load. So slow. Would showing no counts on the buttons help?
Thanks!

How about:
.social li {
float: left;
}
It would help to see your actual HTML. <fb:like> is not an HTML tag, it’s Facebook’s little markup language they made up (FBML), and it gets replaced with actual HTML when Facebook’s JavaScript runs.
(I believe they’re looking to deprecate FBML too — you might want to have a look at the <iframe>-based like button.)
