[OpenLayers-Users] OpenLayers, syntax issue.

[Troy Coburn]

If you look at the OpenLayers.Map constructor it is asking for two 
parameters; the first being the "div" to render the map, and the second 
being a list of options. By using

new OpenLayers.Map({div: "map", controls: [geolocate], layers:
[layer]});

You are actually passing in an object literal as the first parameter 
where OL is expecting a div id reference.
