Re: [OpenLayers-Users] OpenLayers, syntax issue.

My bad on this, it can be passed in a a full object literal. Not something I usually do when creating a map.

By using new OpenLayers.Map({div: "map", controls: [geolocate], layers: [layer]}); You are actually passing in an object literal as the first parameter where OL is expecting a div id reference.

This line of code will render the map just as it is supposed to do: map = new OpenLayers.Map({div: "map", controls: [geolocate], layers: [layer]}); ... but shouldn't the following lines give me the same result? map = new OpenLayers.Map("map"); map.addControl(geolocate); map.addLayer(layer); I thought they were equivalent to the above statement, but apparently not since no map is rendered.
