[OpenLayers-Users] noob question: zoomToExtent() confusion

[Phil Scadden]

Google maps uses spherical mercator. Define lat/long and Spherical 
Mercator projection objects: viz
var p4326 = new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326");
var p900913 = new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:900913");
  Create your bounds, then
bounds.transform(p4326,p900913).
map.zoomToExtent(bounds);
