Set Center

[capeck]

HI,
I am having some issues using map.setCenter().
I have a "jump to" select option input that re-centers the map. This
seems to work fine on FF, but not on IE (I'm testing with IE7).

Code example:
latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(42.74, -110.74);
myMap.setCenter(latlng);
myMap.setZoom(10);

The next scenario is trying to put a "Zoom Here" in the info window
for a specific point. In my function that builds up the infowindow, I
pass in a latlng and add to the infowindow the following:

+ "<a href=\"javascript:myMap.setCenter" + glatlng + ";\">Zoom Here</
a>";

This gives me the following error in Firebug and in IE:
Invalid value for property <center>: 43.525433

I assume I'm not building up the javascript correctly, but glatlng is
a google.maps.LatLng object.


Thanks for your help.







I get the following

The problem is that

    "<a href=\"javascript:myMap.setCenter" + glatlng + ";\">Zoom Here</a>" 

becomes eg.

    "<a href=\"javascript:myMap.setCenter(43.525433, 0);\">Zoom Here</a>" 

myMap.setCenter then correctly asserts that 43.525433 is not a LatLng object.

Instead you probably want to write

    "<a href=\"javascript:myMap.setCenter(glatlng);\">Zoom Here</a>"
