I am working on a project that uses OpenLayers to show shapefiles from the GeoServer and then show them on Google Maps. The only problem is when the page loads, I want to go to the spatial coordinate and zoom to the shapefile that is loaded on map. Is there any way to do this? I want to go to the coordinates around 32 and 50 in zone 39N. Can you help me about this problem?

I tried this code:

var dataExtent = states.getDataExtent();
map.zoomToExtent(dataExtent);

But it does not work, where is my mistake?

This is the result:

h++p://173.244.165.194/

It loads many maps of world. I have to zoom to go to my location :( Here is exact place that I want to zoom when page loads:

http://173.244.165.194/?zoom=12&lat=31.62211&lon=51.48708&layers=B00T

  • first, your map must be in the same projection than your layer

its difficult to know what is going wrong without all your code.

If you dont define a map size, you can try to do it before calling map.zoomToExtent()

map.size = new OpenLayers.Size(1125,745);

  • no the parameters are just the widh and heigh of the map in pixel (int). I had problem with zoomToExtent() in some projects when the size was not defined.
