ah hah! That helps clear up a bit of the design discrepencies that are in the OFBiz layout. OFBiz is currently out of balance with the Zen approach by using placement containers in the screen widget (ie left, center, right). These crutches are convenient, but make us weak in allowing a Zen Gardenesque layout.
I would like to propose a vote (but need better wording than what follows). As far as OFBiz project code (as opposed to local, custom code) should the practice be:
A) Follow the Zen road and eliminate the styling functionality that is in the screen widgets, thus making CSS the primary design tool
B) Continue as is and accept that layout in OFBiz must be constructed using both the screen widget and css as complementary tools, with neither being primary.

Vinay,
A couple of thoughts on this...
1. the current direction for the ecommerce templates is to move toward CSS-based layouts, so we won't be going back to the old table layouts; the goal is to get something in place that uses the patterns described in the book "The Zen of CSS Design" and a good example of this stuff is here:
http://www.csszengarden.com/
2. the current CSS conversion is still not complete; it would be _great_ to have some help with this as so far I'm the only one that has pushed this along, though a few people have submitted little fixes over time and such (and even those are quite valuable and needed now...)
So, if you'd like to get involved with this, please do so! That would be great. You can submit patches for this just like for anything else using the Jira issue tracker.
