Found it! And what an amusing little gotcha' it is.

My breakthrough came when I selected the Anchored Frame containing my not-working mapped image, then used SHIFT-CTRL-A to select everything in the frame: Hmmm, the text frames containing the Hyperlinks weren't also selected.

I selected the text frames, used CTRL-X to cut them, selected the Anchored Frame, then used CTRL-V to paste the text frames inside the Anchored Frame: I sensed I was on the right track when the freshly pasted text frames appeared in a different location within the Anchored Frame.

I then repositioned the freshly pasted text frames where I wanted them, re-gen'ed the document as HTML, and Voila -- the image map worked. Yes!

The first moral of the story is that it is possible to deceive oneself by drawing text frames within the boundary of an Anchored Frame: doing so evidently does not really put the text frames "inside" the Anchored Frame for purposes of creating Hypertext image maps. The second moral of the story is that PDFs seem to work even if the text frames aren't "strictly speaking" in the Anchored Frame, thus confounding the issue a bit.

Gee, what an amusing little learning exercise. ;-)

Cheers,
Riley
