I have a Facebook connect app / canvas IFrame app which has a Like control for a fanpage.

I'd like to detect when the user clicks the Like button to be able to display additional info (a discount coupon code).

I'm using the latest Javascript API but the events that can be handled doesn't seem to include detection of social widget controls. The documentation for the Like Plugin doesn't show any events.

However I know its definitely possible because if I have two Like buttons on a page they both instantly update each other if I like or unlike whatever it is.
