Here - I stuck it on an outside server so you can test it. http://www.forsalebytxt.com/dev/housetest.php
If you put in another city/state (like "Royal Oak, MI") in the location box then click off the box (click into the textarea - or anything except clicking "submit query" right now) you'll see the alert box showing the map center has not changed and you will see the map itself with the same center on South Lyon, MI. Why do you not expect this to do what I am thinking it will? Is there a different method for changing the center of a map once it has been initiated/loaded?
