Costumize Facebook, Twitter ad Google Plus Sharing

Facebook : beyond the great api they give for extra stuff they are the only ones still allowing title, description and image via href so the code is like this function OpenFacebookShare(title, summary, url, imageUrl) {   var url = 'http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?s=100&p[title]=' +         encodeURIComponent(title) +     '&p[summary]=' + encodeURIComponent(summary) +     '&p[url]=' + encodeURIComponent(url) +     '&p[images][0]=' + encodeURIComponent(imageUrl);     window.open(url,  'mywindow' , 'menubar=1,resizable=1,width=650,height=450' ); }; as simple as that.

XmlTypeAttribute (Namespace= "http://xmlns.bla/bla/yourType" )] and if so the XML nodes will look like this < node  xmlns = " http://xmlns.bla/bla/yourType " > 20:52:00 </ node > and for some reason it wont read the nodes, so the solution is allXmlStr = allXmlStr.Replace( "xmlns=\" http://xmlns.bla/bla/yourType \"" , "" ); < xsl:stylesheet version = " 1.0 "  xmlns = " urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet "  xmlns:xsl = " http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform "  xmlns:msxsl = " urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt "  xmlns:user = " urn:my-scri
