How to set the extent of an OpenLayers Map?

bounds, dictionary, openlayers, pan, zooming

Solution

Please try OpenLayers.Map.zoomToExtent(OpenLayers.Bounds) which will zoom to the passed in bounds and recenter the map.

Problem

I want to pan and zoom an `OpenLayers.Map` to a given `OpenLayer.Bounds`. What is a quick way to do this action? I want to see everything that is in the bounds on the map. Cheers!
