....or if i'm viewing this on a handheld like an Ipaq or a Palm? Or, as
suggested, what if my screen resolution is 1280x720 but my browser window
is currently 600px wide?

basically what Beauregard is suggesting is that you DO NOT make your
website dependent on screen resolution in any way. Use HTML for content.
Use CSS to style your page accordingly.

Not to mention, falsely resized images (ie: an 300px wide image being
shrunk to 100px by an image tag) look TERRIBLE!!
