Facebook Like Box isn't working

I'm trying to add a Facebook "Like Box" to an existing website, as described here

The Page I'm promoting works just fine in preview-box on that page.

But when I copy/paste the code as shown to my website, it instead shows a fraction of an empty facebook page with only a partially visible error message.

<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/likebox.php?profile_id=SenRandyGordon&amp;width=260&amp;connections=10&amp;stream=true&amp;header=true"
        scrolling="no" 
        frameborder="0" 
        allowTransparency="true" 
        style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:260px; height:px"></iframe>

I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong, and I added "Like Box"'s in the past, before Facebook released their new API.

Please help?

John's answer might work. Haven't tried it. This worked for me:
change profile_id= to just id= in the embed code.

I also faced same problem using facebook's social plugin. In this plugin if user enter wrong input then security question comes with random generated code with 2 words, but user can view only 1 word means it shows partial part..

Here is Onther solution .... It Really Works!!!

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php/en_US'> 
</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>FB.init('aaafdced248eed501f09f66e3c5b7de9');</script>
<fb:fan profile_id=\"118774364811981\" stream=\"0\" connections=\"10\" logobar=\"0\" width=\"244\" height=\"240\" css='serverside_facebook.css?1'> 
</fb:fan>


I used above code in Java verticalPanel.getElement().setInnerHTML("above code");

It really works!

I copied and pasted the code supplied for the iframe, and it didn't work. I discovered there was no http: before the code. Once I put it there, everything worked perfectly.

Solution

You have to replace all the "&amp;" of the Facebook Likebox generator code with "&" - then it works.

Combine this method with Lemmy's method to make it work.

So the final result looks like these instead

<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/likebox.php?profile=1&id=SenRandyGordon&width=260&connections=10&stream=true&header=true" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:260px; height:px"></iframe>
