Facebook "Like" button Validation issues

Due to social networking websites being all the rage these days, people are now wanting "Apps" such as Facebook's "Like" button added to their web pages. Only problem is, these plug-ins are not valid within the World Web Consortuim and will cause multiple issues when attempting to validate. So whats the answer? Upon doing some research, Furious Designs uncovered a designer who has developed as solution to Facebook's "Like" button to be completely compliant with todays web standards. How? By adding a simple javascript as apposed to letting the App run from your HTML page thus curing the problem we can now display this App and fully validate it.

Thank you, Justin Norton for this brilliant work around.
