Tiles and others are hell compared to facelets. Anyway your question indeed is a general HTML question
you defined several divs, doing the layouts the divs per se do nothing except marking an area for more content. So what you did was having the body and then the navigation you need to alter the positions of your divs via css and position absolute or relative (depending on your situation) I assume: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../../css/example_basic.css" /> should do that, but it is not found, your relativ path probably is not correct, either use a base href to access it, or alter the relative path so that your css is found again.
