Redirect gif to htm

[janbeeu]

Is it possible in an htaccess file to redirect the url of an image to a url of a page like

Redirect /images/map.gif http:]//www.mysite.com/map.htm

The answer depends on the browser.

Generally. you can redirect a text link, like <a href="/images/map.gif">, or a directly-typed-in URL, to a new page.

But you can't redirect an image link like <img src="/images/map.gif"> to a new page, because the browser is expecting a graphical page element and not a new page.

It does not know how to display a page in the area where the image is supposed to load.
