[OpenLayers-Users] limit map to maxExtent?

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Hi list,

is there a way to limit the map to its maxExtent? Right now I can pan
outside of the maxExtent.

I tried adding a check to setCenter in Map.js:

..
var bounds = this.getExtent();
if (!this.maxExtent.containsBounds(bounds))
{ 
  return false;
}

but that does not seem to do the job.

Any help appreciated.

Best regards,
Bart
