var startExtent = new esri.geometry.Extent(xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax, new esri.SpatialReference({ wkid: 4326 }));
            omap.map.setExtent(startExtent);
But how to find the xmin, ymin, xmax and ymax

Once you have zoomed to your area of interest in Firefox, use the console window in Firebug and type the following:

dojo.toJson(map.extent.toJson());

That is assuming the the esri.map object is called map

@Diana-

Thanks for posting that! I've been looking for that reference for the last week and couldn't remember where I had originally read that. You just saved me a whole lot of headache trying to find it again. 😄
