Thanks for the quick reply Carlos! I found a way to do it just by changing the editor. I installed JCE and was able to just paste in the image map as hoped. Seems like a more than adequate replacement for TinyMCE. Download it here:

Sorry, followed these steps to the letter, both for Tiny 2 and Tiny 3 and couldn't get it. All I want is to be able to paste my own HTML image map, hand-coded myself, into an article in Article Manager, click Save, and have it work. I don't understand why image maps, which have been around since HTML 1 or 2, are so VERY difficult with Joomla. Any other advice appreciated.
