[OpenLayers-Users] Is there a way to get the absolute bounding box of a feature in a layer?

[Ivan Grcic]

var feature_bounds= layer.getFeatureById(feature_id).geometry.getBounds();
http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Geometry-js.html#OpenLayers.Geometry.getBounds

map.zoomToExtent(feature_bounds,true);

cheers
