What version of OpenLayers are you using? Probably not 2.6; possibly not
2.5? It sounds like 2.4, though to be honest, there's no polygons
anywhere in this demo, so perhaps I'm confused. In any case, if you're
not using a recent trunk, you won't have decent KML styling support,,
which it sounds like might be your question.
