Re: screen resolution!

Yes, there is. It's called HTML.

You might think me daft, but HTML was actually created to allow the page to 
adapt to screen size. The oldest technology on the block is actually the 
thing to use in this situation, otherwise you're just creating extra work for 
yourself. 

A simple example:

<table width="800px"> - This works great, looks great, until you have a 
640x480 screen. Instead, try this:

<table width="80%">  (this scales according to screen size)

or

<table> (this scales according to content size + screen size)

It really sounds like this is a problem with your web page design, not php or 
Javascript. 

However, you could indeed do as others suggested and create multiple pages.. 
That really sounds like more work than it's worth though.
