ah, so LAYERS and STYLES are like parallel arrays?
I figured that if you did LAYERS=census&STYLES=red,blue,green you’d get red+blue+green applied to the census layer. and that if you had multiple LAYERS= then it was gonna be totally confused.
well, doing a little testing, it appears that your suggestion is correct. my use at the moment was that I am actually creating a request that is several (5 or 6) layers composited, and I just need an extra styling on one of them. but to make that work it seems that I would have to specify the styles for all which is, needless to say, a pain. what would be nice is if it applied the first X STYLES to the first X LAYERS, and the other LAYERS got their default stylings.
sorry to find such random edge cases. I’ll just deal with this I guess, thanks for the the info.
