I've been experimenting with this just now - here is what I came up with:

 var clicker = (function(data) {
            return function (){
                var lon = data.longitude;
                var lat = data.latitude;
                // alert(lon+','+lat);
                map.setCenter( new
                OpenLayers.LonLat(lon,lat),8,false,true);
            };
        })(d);
 Ext.get("div"+i).on('click',clicker);

Where div0, div1 etc are div's that surround the place names in my list.

Hope this helps

Ian
