As Jeff said, CSS is way to go in most cases. One thing to note, in the example on that webpage, they set the content #content style class to have a fixed width of 500 pix. If you wish to play around more, such as having a center column that can expand depending on the browser window size/resolution, take a look at 3-column layouts using faux columns in CSS. It is essentially the same as what you are doing here, but you can use percentages on the left and right columns to allow for a liquid layout.
If you are able to, I highly recommend using the Firebug or Web Developer plugins for Firefox, as they allow you to "inspect" individual elements on the page by mousing over them, and you can see the corresponding CSS. For JSF, CSS will take care of a lot of heartache with respect to positioning and style. There's tons of sites with templates for this, a couple I like are www.mollio.org and http://www.glish.com/css/. Good luck!

Legolas, This is a CSS issue (or maybe Tobago), not JSF. But this page should help you, as it did for me.
