[OpenLayers-Users] Is there an easy way to center and zoom the map automatically based on the placemarks that are on it?

[Phil Scadden]

Something like this?  (okay, I do this on a WFS request, rather than a 
layer but principle should apply.

           var fts = layer.features;
           if (fts.length>0 && fts[0].geometry) {
               sExt = fts[0].geometry.getBounds().clone();
               for(var i=1;i<fts.length;i++) {
                  sExt.extend(fts[i].geometry.getBounds());
               }
           }
