FB Share button is not being displayed anymore

Update: the button is back : Facebook Share button: is it officially dead?

I have a strange problem. The Facebook share button has stopped displaying. The code used is

<p style="margin-top:-50px; margin-left:300px; width:600px;">Join us on Facebook
  <a name="fb_share" type="button" share_url="https://example.com/"></a>
  <script src="https://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript">
  </script>
</p>

The code has not been changed since I was assigned to handle the website. Any ideas why this is happening? The HTML is there. But no button appears.

Facebook no longer use that.

Instead Use the below code.

And paste this after opening <body> tag

<div id="fb-root"></div>{literal}
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
  js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=YOUR APP ID HERE";
  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>{/literal}

Anywhere you want this to appear, add this code:

<fb:share-button type="box_count"></fb:share-button>

Make sure you change the App ID, You must create app first
