I was trying to do this on Drupal 7 with the " fb_likebox" module (https://drupal.org/project/fb_likebox). To get it to be responsive. Turns out I had to write my own Contrib module Variation and stripe out the width setting option. (the default height option didn't matter for me). Once I removed the width, I added the <div id="likebox-wrapper"> in the fb_likebox.tpl.php.

Here's my CSS to style it:

 `#likebox-wrapper * {
  width: 100% !important;
  background: url('../images/block.png') repeat 0 0;
  color: #fbfbfb;
 -webkit-border-radius: 7px;
  -moz-border-radius: 7px;
   -o-border-radius: 7px;
  border-radius: 7px;
   border: 1px solid #DDD;}`

None of the css trick worked for me  in my case the fb-like box was pulled right with  float right    However  what worked without any additional tricks is an IFRAME version of the button code  I e     lt iframe src    www facebook com plugins like php href               scrolling  no  frameborder  0           style  border none  overflow hidden  width 71px  height 21px            allowTransparency  true  gt   lt  iframe gt     Note custom width in style  and no need to include additional javascript

NOTE  Colin s solution didn t work for me  Facebook may have changed their markup  Using   should be more future-proof   Wrap the Like box with a div    lt div id  likebox-wrapper  gt       lt iframe src       gt  lt  iframe gt   lt  -- likebox code -- gt   lt  div gt    and add this to your css file    likebox-wrapper        width  100   important

Colin s example for me clashed with the like button  So I adapted it to only target the Like Box    fb-like-box   fb-like-box span   fb-like-box span iframe style    width  100   important      Tested in most modern browsers
