Hey APh, here´s what I´ve found:
if you call getBounds() from withing the initialize function, nothing
is returned (possibly because no map has been initialized?).
Even if you set you <body>´s onlick like this
onClick='initialize(); get_me_bounds();'
where get_me_bounds() is a function that calls getBounds(), undefined
is returned, but one out of a hundred times, it returns bounds!
So I tried this:
onClick='initialize(); setTimeout('get_me_bounds()', 100);'
which delays the call for get_me_bounds() 100 miliseconds, and IT
WORKS!
I think the API is not yet done processing the map construct, so you
have to give it a breath to finish up.
Let me know if this is too crazy.
