crschmidt 7da6a3540e Merge the excellent documentation work done during foss4g into trunk. Many
thanks to all the contributors who helped put this together. 
I'm not exactly sure of what's going to happen with this, but for now,
at http://openlayers.org/dev/doc/examples.html you can see links to all the
examples *with descriptions*. Hooray!

<h1 id="title">Setting a Visual Extent</h1>
<p id='shortdesc'>
Use a boxes layer to visually display the area of interest indicated by a user.
</p>
<p>
Because the ability to set the map to a given extent is limited by the
current resolutions available, zoomToExtent will not always set the map to
exactly the right extent. In order to visually annotate the actual extent,
this example, will use the Boxes layer to visually describe the desired
extent as well as setting the map extent.
