CorelDraw 12 is not a program for editing either css/ html files.

I use Notepad to edit my text not CorelDraw. It would seem we aren't on the same page. I used CorelDraw to make the images which is what I said above:

...if I create my own image with CorelDraw 12...

Let me see if I can clear up the confusion. I have a collection of web objects; images for backgrounds, logos, bullets and lines, etc. All the cool things you find on the web. When I say 'drop' I mean that I copy an image from my collection and paste it into the 'image' folder in the parent folder where the HTML file resides. So if I take another JPG file (regardless of size or shape) rename it to ‘logo.jpg’ and place that in the 'images' folder then it shows. If I create an image file in Corel and name that ‘logo.jpg’ and place that in the 'images' folder it will not show.
After much experimentation I finally pinpointed the problem to an incompatibility with the JPG format Corel uses and IE8. I opened the file in FireFox and it worked fine. The only difference is that in the CSS file the image is defined as a background and in the HTML file it places the image via an <img> tag. Why that makes a difference in displaying the images is anybody’s guess. I only know that in IE8 it doesn’t work.
I only downloaded this template because I thought it would save time in making a new web page I'm working on and I liked the design of the template. I've been using Corel for years and it’s been a love/hate relationship. I know its problems and rather just work around them rather than use another program and have to relearn how to work around its drawbacks. So I'll just use the template as a visual aid and build a web page from scratch.
I appreciate your time and effort to help me resolve this problem. Thank you.
