Has anyone used any of the Facebook social plugins on their sites? What is considered best practice when using them ("not using them" will be accepted as a valid answer).

My concerns are with accessibility and churning out valid code.

Dunno about Facebook

But when I was looking at Google+ buttons recently which use their own tags, I found they also supported real elements with data- attributes, so it's possible something similar exists for Facebook.

How to get help
Post a link. If you can't post a link, jsFiddle it.

The code is obviously not valid.

Hello,
I have integrated facebook on a couple of sites and i have managed to run the integration fine. But as a pointer, i try to includes all the facebook code into files that are separate from my website code. So that is one pointer that you have to use.

Regards,
Mihir.

Social Media buttons & valid

Social Media buttons & valid accessible code == 'Oxymoron'

Implemented various social media buttons or added to the existing with a plugin project, google+ is causing all sorts of issues in looped displays despite following api instructions - Farcebook? appears to work and I leave that to the other devs to test and verify as I have no account no wish for one.
