[OpenLayers-Users] Basic GeoServer OpenLayers map

[ZAMap]

Hi all

I'm trying to get a basic map displayed but keep getting bounds is null
error.

None of the suggestions (allOverlays: true) that I found works, most
probably because of other issues with my code/setup.

Code: 

function init() {
  var map = new OpenLayers.Map('map');

  var layers = new OpenLayers.Layers.WMS(
    "basic",
    "http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms",
    {layers: 'topp:states'}

  map.addLayers(layers);
  map.zoomToMaxExtent();
}

My geoserver is working, I can request the map and other data from the
server. Any pointers to good tutorials are welcome.

Setup:
Ubuntu 9.10
GeoServer 2.0.1
Openlayers 2.8

I would appreciate any help.
