Fluid design and not caring what screen resolution the user has.

1. You care about window size, not screen size.
2. You don't need to know this: code in a fluid style and let the
user's browser worry about how to render it.
3. A good way to achieve a fluid design is to use simple HTML and
competent CSS (try readign "Head First HTML & CSS" for an intro.
4. Don't _ever_ mess dynamically with the user's window size, window
state, or browser settings.
5. JavaScript is of little use here. A "JavaScript solution" you're
offered is probably quite wrongly intentioned from the outset.
