facebook share error: "method" is a required parameter for FB.ui()

Question

the headline says everything. I get always this error: "method" is a required parameter for FB.ui(). But method is set to 'feed'

Is it because i currently working local on my machine and not on a really server?? App is also registered in facebook.

Any idea?

<span id='share'>SHARE</span> <div id="fb-root"></div> <script> window.fbAsyncInit = function() { FB.init({appId: '2907534********', status: true, cookie: true, xfbml: true}); }; (function() { var e = document.createElement('script'); e.async = true; e.src = document.location.protocol + '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js'; document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e); }()); </script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function(){ $('#share').click(function(e){ e.preventDefault(); FB.ui({ method: 'feed', name: 'This is the content of the "name" field.', link: ' http://www.hyperarts.com/', picture: 'http://www.hyperarts.com/external-xfbml/share-image.gif', caption: 'This is the content of the "caption" field.', description: 'This is the content of the "description" field, below the caption.', message: '' }); }); }); </script>

This looks like an issue with your application since any of sharing options doesn't work with your APP_ID (taken from site specified by link) Please ensure your application configured correctly and not blocked. — Juicy Scripter

The $('#share').click(function(e){ section of code should go into the window.fbAsynchInit call to ensure the framework is loaded prior to assign a click event to something that utilizes the FB.

I tested that very same code with my own app ID and it worked fine for me. The only difference is that I changed name, caption, and description to just be 'This', and I fixed a syntax issue at the end.

Are you sure this bit of code is the source of your error?

yes i also just copied this example out of an tutorial... what was this for an syntax issue?? You tested it local or on an live server??

you must be online on server ( really server )
if you didn't have Facebook id in this line FB.init({appId: '2907534********', status: true, cookie: true, xfbml: true}); you must have one from this url : https://developers.facebook.com/ or search in how to create facebook app an example for ( how to create facebook app ) hyperarts.com/blog/how-to-create-facebook-application-to-get-an-app-id-for-your-website/
but if you already have facebook id and already know how to create app , you must put the code in the top , on the same file that you put on facebook canvas ,

as for example if you insert in canvas ( https://www.example.com/test.php ) and you must put this code at test.php

I hope your problem will be solved really soon!
