I've noticed many sites lately that will resize themselves as you resize the browser window. The text and graphics will realign themselves to stay within the borders, and nothing will overlap. How is this achieved?

Instead of using pixels you use percentages.

give the main container width in percent not in pixel..
e.g:

<body>
<div style="width: 95%">
..
..
</div>
</body>

It doesn't always work 100% though. I have had some problems in Firefox with some pages, but it does work out for the most part.
