No you may not. Facebooks API is horrible. I was just implementing the like buttons on my site and realized that they have to be iframes (even the FBXML or whatever its called creates iframes). This turns out a bit ridiculous on pages such as yours (if you put them on the feed page) and mine where you Twitter on the other hand allows you to just gives you a URL which points users to a link to share the page.

In my opinion, this isn't much different than twitter, since both actions would require two clicks: facebook: click your custom widget -> facebook prompt -> perform action twitter: click your custom widget -> twitter prompt -> perform action (Or just do like I do, and change the size of the iframe to 450x20)
- saranagati 16y agoas far as i'm aware, you can't really write your own. I was watching the network traffic for a submit and it was pretty ridiculous how many transactions it did when you clicked "like" (about 4 if i remember correctly). Having the users authenticate the action would actually be good for sites like mine but facebook doesn't seem to provide that option.
