My polygons weren't drawing because of bad code. Fixed, with the hints given by reading the GLog I added to my local page. They weren't hiding/showing because they weren't drawing. Of course.
WOWEEEE! YIPPEE TIE ONE ON! It works. It's brilliant. Brilliant! Larry, you fixed the sidebar without even being asked! This is amazing. Larry, you are a gentleman, a scholar and my savior. How you ever have figured out all this stuff with Google Maps astounds me. OK, my newest test page is up at http://lovebunnies.luckypro.biz/01_stuff/roman_holiday/romanholidaymap_polys.html and new XML doc is uploaded, too. Watch that puppy sling some data. This is the way it should work. LOOK AT THOSE PERFECT TINY POLYGONS! Garden sheds? Hah, I'm going to map flower pots. Don't think I won't either. Hah. There are a few little oddities remaining... 1. The margutta category appears in the sidebar when the map opens. Yet it gets removed when checkboxes operate. 2. My polygons aren't clickable. I have to read the documentation and posts here. 3. I want to fill them. Same thing: read more.
