[OpenLayers-Users] setCenter problem

[Tyler Durden]

Hi,
I have list of links:
Example:
<a href="#" onclick="map.setCenter(new OpenLayers.LonLat(16.0, 41.0),
8);">show</a>

But nothing happens.

setCenter() only applies on init()?

var lon = -8.61057;
var lat = 41.14452;
var zoom = 8;
var bounds = new OpenLayers.Bounds(-11.535, 36.095, -4.535, 43.095);
var map, layer_continente;

function initMap() {
    var options = { maxResolution : 0.015693359375,
                    numZoomLevels : 12,
                    maxExtent     : bounds,
                    projection    : "EPSG:4326"}

    map1 = new OpenLayers.Map('map', options);
    layer_continente = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS("continente",
"http://localhost:8080/", {"layers":"continente",
"format":"image/png"})
    map.addLayer(layer_continente);

    map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.PanZoom());
    map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.MousePosition());
    map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.MouseDefaults());
    map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.Permalink());

    map.setCenter(new OpenLayers.LonLat(lon, lat), zoom);
}
