I want to include a link to a URL in a Facebook sharer link, like this one on the Boston Globe: http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2015/02/06/for-bruins-brad-marchand-agitation-occupation/zoswHyd3pX2yc1pKk5gOdO/story.html
This is the code that I have, but it doesn't show the title:
<a aria-label="Share on Facebook" title="Share on Facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=1http%3A%2F%2Fwww.affinnova.com%2Fconsumer-iq-test%2Fhome.html&t=Do+you+know+what+consumers+want?+Test+your+ability+to+predict+what+new+product+ideas+consumers+want?"
onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href, '', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=300,width=600');return false;"target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook">
<img src="img/icon-facebook.png" alt="Facebook" />
</a>
The pop-up shows the title of the HTML page from the link and the url. I'd like this to be more like what the Boston Globe link shows. How can I do that? Do I need an additional script?

My friend, sharer.php is deprecated. http://www.joshuawinn.com/facebooks-sharer-php-longer-deprecated-2014/
Use dialogs instead. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/feed-dialog/v2.2?locale=es_LA
Good luck!
