Flexible width layout for Facebook Like Box/Activity Stream to use in Responsive Designs
/*
Make the Facebook Like box responsive (fluid width)
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
*/
/* This element holds injected scripts inside iframes that in some cases may stretch layouts. So, we're just hiding it. */
#fb-root {
display: none;
}
/* To fill the container and nothing else */
.fb_iframe_widget, .fb_iframe_widget span, .fb_iframe_widget span iframe[style] {
width: 100% !important;
}

I think, you should replace ".fb_iframe_widget" with ".fb-like-box" because there is a conflict with Facebook Like button. The button disappears! ;)

.fb-like-box, .fb-like-box span, .fb-like-box span iframe[style] {
width: 100% !important;
}

Thank you. It is working fine in my Twitter Boostrap project.

It works great in it self. I just seam to fight with the profile image inside the streams They really squeeze the text of the streams so the flexible width gets challenged in medium sized devices.

Do any one know if it would be possible to leave out the profile image in the stream?

Did anyone find a solution that works for iPads (Safari / Chrome)?

Also having the same iPad issue... same thing happens on my Samsung Galaxy (android).

For the iPad issue, since the properties you want to modify are inside the iframe, there is no way to achieve a fully reponsive fix because the CSS does not work cross domain.

They have now added:

id="feedback_xxxxxx" style="width: 470px;"

In the iFrame, so this solution is not enough anymore...

I've just resolved a similar issue using the CSS from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24712583/make-a-facebook-like-box-responsive - however full width page responsive still leaves half the page blank on a 1600px wide monitor :(
