I'm using Magento CE 1.9 and I just tried to share a product on facebook. Worked like a charm except all the css of the text block was included :(

Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to fix this? Thanks.

I guess that you have send descrition

Used $this->htmlEscape() for you variable to remove html tag from string

http://www.w3schools.com/php/func_string_strip_tags.asp

Edit: change 

urlencode(trim($_helper->productAttribute($_product, nl2br($_product->getShortDescription()), 'short_description')));

to

urlencode(trim($this->htmlEscape($_helper->productAttribute($_product, nl2br($_product->getShortDescription()), 'short_description'))));

Edit:use basic php function strip_tags to remove all html tag from string

 urlencode(trim( strip_tags($_helper->productAttribute($_product, nl2br($_product->getShortDescription()), 'short_description'))));

  • I changed the following line to: <?php $_u = 'p[url]=' . $_productUrl . '&p[images][0]=' . $_productImageUrl . '&p[title]=' . $_productName . '&p[summary]=' . urlencode(trim($_helper->productAttribute($_product, nl2br($_product->getShortDescription()), 'short_description'))); ?> TO: <?php $_u = 'p[url]=' . $_productUrl . '&p[images][0]=' . $_productImageUrl . '&p[title]=' . $_productName . '&p[summary]=' . urlencode(trim($_helper->productAttribute($_product, nl2br($this->htmlEscape($_product->getShortDescription())), 'short_description'))); ?>

Not sure if this still requires an answer however your problem is because you have not implemented Facebook's OpenGraph Tags...If more information is required please reply here
