Facebook Javascript Issues Resolved

I cannot tell you how long I waited for a) Facebook to finally release FB Connect, and b) for Six Apart to release their FB Commenters plugin. After much hard work, the final piece to the puzzle was a Javascript error (FB.Facebook.apiClient.get_session().uid;) that was also conflicting with mt.js - this did screwy things with the "Sign in to comment, or comment anonymously" line above the comment box below.

I submitted a ticket and I need to thank "Cowboy" Ben Alman for replying to it with one fix. I say one fix as Peter Larson left a comment on Tom Keating's VOIP blog with a different solution.

So there you have it. Look at the two lines of code in my signface.js file marked // COWBOY and you will see the fix I am using, thanks to Ben Alman. The only remaining question is going to be: will I have to go through all this crap again when MT 4.25 is final?
