I am not sure if I am emailing the right category but here it goes.
Hi my name is Charles I am building a website for my church I am having problems with screen resolution the two most commonly used screen resolutions are 800x600 and 1024x768. I designed it for 800x600 because over half of my target users use that until on who used 1024x768 told my Vision Media Ministry Director. Now I am stuck as a intermediate web programmer with the daunting task of fixing this problem I am trying to avoid making a sites for each resolution. Then each time I update the events and everything I have to do it twice. I have herd rumors of both a server side code and a client side code that could fix this problem if you can give me a hand I would great appreciate it. The website I am building can be found at http://www.gatewayfreshfire.org If that would help you out any again thank you!!!! I really appreciate it!

I too often develop for 800x600 users realizing that anyone else with a higher resolution could still see everything although there might be some screen space left over at the right.

But another approach is to use percentages instead of actual numbers for the widths (probably of your tables and td cells).

Example:
<table width="100%"> instead of <table width="800">
