Even Firefox would be OK.

If you're being forced at gunpoint to use Internet Explorer, you should at least upgrade it. Version 8 is tolerable and 9 will be OK when it comes out.

Facebook’s OpenID Support: Much Improved!

I decided to give linking my Facebook account to my OpenID delegate page another go last night.

Lo and behold, it still didn’t work. But this time, I got a useful error message!

Facebook Error Message

After some Googling and reading, I finally figured out that I needed to add the following two lines to the source of my delegate page. Now I have a delegate page that works with OpenID 1.1 and OpenID 2.0.

Once I got that, I was able to link Facebook to my MyOpenID account. The weird logging in and out issues I reported a couple of weeks ago also seem to be resolved.


<html>
    <head>
        <!-- OpenID 2.0 delegate information -->
        <link rel="openid2.provider" href="http://www.myopenid.com/server" />
        <link rel="openid2.local_id" href="http://yourusername.myopenid.com/" />

        <!-- OpenID 1.1 delegate information -->
        <link rel="openid.server" href="http://www.myopenid.com/server" />
        <link rel="openid.delegate" href="http://yourusername.myopenid.com/" />
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
</html>
