KindleGen 2.5 <map> and <area> tags not working
I am trying to setup an ebook mobi test file that allows you to go to a specific page by clicking/touching a specific area on page 1. Select one area and you go to page 2 or select another for page 3. The html code for the page 3 selection is:
<map name="map1"> <area shape="rect" coords="0,0,100,100" alt="area1" href="page03.html" /> </map> The html files work fine in the browser, but I am unable to make the map tags work using KindleGen. Is this even supported? |

Not that I know of.
The Amazon Kindle Publishing Guidelines list the html tags that are supported, in one of the appendices. |

<map> is listed as supported
no mention of <area> either way why support <map> if not to support image-maps? |

try this link:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.htm...d_i=1000765211 List of supported HTML tags and CSS elements Lists the major enhancements in KF8 though it is not exhaustive maybe KindleGen v2.5 doesn't yet support KF8? |

Kindlegen 2.5 definitely supports KF8. Looks like conflicting information. But I'd be inclined to trust the official documentation in the Amazon Kindle Publishing Guidelines over a feature list.
