Dear all,

I have a text field that auto completes with a city name using the  
auto\_complete\_for method. I also have a Google Map control on the same  
page. Now when the user selects his city from the auto complete text  
field I would like to automatically recenter the google map. I have  
the lat long data saved in a mysql database.

Is this possible ?

Thanks,

Nick,
