I tried out Leafletjs maxBounds with example code I found at Mapbox.
Below you find my complete code, also in a jsfiddle here.

margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
html, body, #map {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map">
<script>
var southWest = L.latLng(40.712, -74.227),
northEast = L.latLng(40.774, -74.125),
mybounds = L.latLngBounds(southWest, northEast);
var map = L.map('map').setView([40.743, -74.176], 17);
L.tileLayer('http://{s}.tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png' , {
maxBounds: mybounds,
maxZoom: 18,
minZoom: 16,

}) .addTo(map);
L.marker([40.743, -74.176]) .addTo(map);
</script>
</div>
</body>
The jsfiddle result looks odd, I don't know why.
Why doesn't the upper code work like the Mapbox example?
