[OpenLayers-Users] zooming programmatically

[Tim Schaub]

Hey-

Try this.

1) Open 
http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/sundials-spherical-mercator.html in 
Firefox.
2) Install Firebug, enable the console, and open it.
3) Type "map.zoomTo(6)"

I see the map zoom.  If you cannot do the same with your map, sending a 
message with a link to your page would help in debugging.
