    3. Arun, Is the Image a public URL.
    if its a local URL then it will not work.
    try with some public URL.

    4. Hi,
    One question , i am posting 3 pictures to the wall, sometimes only one picture is loaded in to the wall and there is coming the “cross” image is coming for the next two images. But when checking after 20-30 min all the 3 images are loaded in the wall. When i check the source of this html code, i found the image thumbs are there, but the images are not loaded in facebook. what is the reason behind this? Why facebook not loaded all the pictures instantly. I am using your code but not submit a description for the images.
