Facebook Like Button API - Like different URL to page button is on?

I have a large image gallery web page. I want to have a Facebook 'Like' button per image, so I set the API URL for each like button to be something like: 

<div class="fb-like" data-href="http://mysite.com/gallery/photo1.jpg" data-send="true" data-width="300" data-show-faces="false"></div>

However, the Facebook API seems to not like this. The console says there is a mismatch between domains.

I am assuming this is because the actual 'Like' button is on one URL, eg: mysite.com/gallery whilst the URL it is told to like is diffent, eg: mysite.com/gallery/photo1.jpg as once I set them both to the same URL it is fine.

Does anyone know of a work around for this? Have a Facebook Like button on one page, but the page to like on another, separate page?

Get the link you want to like working in the Facebook debugger and it should work:

Update: I don't know if the question changed or I was just zoned out, but you cannot like a JPG file.

Yes, you can definitively add a like button for a content on another domain.

For the moment, there's a bug on Facebook Like buttons' callbacks, and likes are often not taken into account.

The issue should be solved soon : https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/457950334238629
