Multiple polygons with different <polystyle> fill color?

[Joerg R.]

Hi Group.

im wondering how to show multiple polygons each one declared with a
different style id.

below is an example file with 3 polygons and 2 styles, which is not
working as expected. on google maps, the polystyle values are used as
declared in style #b, wheter the linestyle is applied correctly as
defined in style #a and style#b.

Hi.

Take a look at your polygon colors

style.a
<color>7f ff 00 00</color>

style.b
<color>7f aa 00 00</color>

One poly is set with ff for dark blue color and other with aa
purplish. Transparency for both=7f.
Try more distinct colors like red and green.

Also might be a typo when you pasted but the start name element is not
closed.
