I am using KindleGen to generate a mobi file from an Indesign (Creative Cloud 2014) fixed layout epub. None of my text hyperlinks work.
There do not appear to be any errors from KindleGen

The code generated by Indesign
Code:
<a href="http://www.mydomain.com"><span id="_idTextSpan658" class="Hyperlink CharOverride-10" style="position:absolute;top:9768px;left:16958.58px;letter-spacing:-0.72px;">website</span></a>
I tried moving the <a> tag inside the <span> tag and removed the Hyperlink class. Neither worked. I can add an <a> tag to an image either in Indesign or by editing the resulting xhtml file that work as expected.
Not sure where to go next. Any help is much appreciated.
