        for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++) {
            var c = ca[i];
            while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length);
            if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length);

Short answer: that “Confirm” step is coming from Facebook itself and you cannot suppress it from your page. Facebook’s like plugin will sometimes open an internal confirm flow (it’s a server-side/SDK decision, not something your modal script can override). (stackoverflow.com)

Why it happens: Facebook uses heuristics to prevent like-jacking and other abuse (rapid clicks, pop‑ups, atypical iframe/modal contexts). When those heuristics trigger, the plugin routes the action through a confirm endpoint (you’ll see mentions of a plugins/error/confirm/like flow in developer reports). That behavior is controlled by Facebook, not by your client JavaScript. (stackoverflow.com)

Practical advice and troubleshooting

Stop relying on a forced “like to unlock” modal — Facebook banned incentivizing/like‑gating (developers had to comply by November 5, 2014). If the modal is intended to drive likes, remove the gate and use a different conversion (email signup, share, or clear CTA). (thenextweb.com)
Use Facebook’s official Like plugin (inline XFBML or iframe) and the up‑to‑date SDK, load only one SDK instance, and test the button on a plain page (no modal, no extra JS) while logged in and in a clean browser profile. That narrows whether the modal/context is causing the confirm behavior. (crunchify.com)
Don’t try to fake or auto‑like via the API — you can’t like a Facebook Page programmatically (use the Like button and FB.Event.subscribe to detect an edge.create event, but it won’t bypass Facebook’s confirm). (stackoverflow.com)

A note on intent: ’s point about “just getting people to hit Like” is relevant—focus on honest UX and alternatives (better copy, clear value, share prompts or email capture) rather than forcing likes; that both avoids Facebook policy issues and usually produces higher‑quality fans.

Are you just trying to get people to hit your facebook like button?
