You also made a mistake by using <b>Openlayers</b> and not <b>OpenLayers</b> (javascript is case sensitive)<br><br>A sample below you can test in <a href="http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/baseLayers.html" target="_blank">http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/baseLayers.html</a><br>
<span>map.setCenter(new OpenLayers.LonLat(-88.7544446426224,13.6255370441885),map.getZoomForExtent(new OpenLayers.Bounds(-88.69996,13.6920867,-88.530255,13.7854783)));</span><br><br>Regards<br><br>ThomasG<br>GIS specialist </blockquote>
