I renamed the file to ....jpg,but that did not help.
Renaming an image file extension is not going to change how the browser interprets and displays the image itself. The browser is reading the embedded image type info. So if .map is not a valid image type, the browser will not display it.
Whereas changing the file extension does nothing for how the browser displays an image, it can be a useful trick on the server end of a website. For example, our forum servers only allow signature photos in either .jpg or .gif. Using a .png file will cause an error message. However, if you change the .png extension to .jpg, the forum servers will allow it though its still a .png image as far as the browser is concerned.
