Try not to use specific resolutions.
To me you have a couple of options.
1.
If you look @
http://www.apple.com/
You can see its upper bar. It is a bunch of gif's lined up in a table. The gifs have one right next to the other one. And from the first tab to the last tab is 640 by width. Then they have an extra gif on the side
which is called
http://a772.g.akamai.net/7/772/51/55...s/en/i/1bg.gif
This gif looks vert small, but it repeated becuase it is in the background of a table. So @ any resolution beyond 640x480 then it would be a nice little extra border that will extend anything beyond 640x480 to whatever resulution.
This is probably the best option beauce it is the easiest and so may people have so many different reolutions.
My monitor for example has really weird resolutions because it is a 19" that is in a rectangualar format. So I have reosolutions like
832x624
1024x768
1152x870
all the way to
1920x1080

The other way to do is a much more complicated java sript option that calculates the image sizes, table sizes, form sizes, etc. by getting the users resolution via javascript and increasing the size of the tables, images, and pictures, by multiply it by a specific ammount to whatever the size is.
However this has some drawbacks the webmaster has to predefine how much to mutiply for each resolution, so if there is a weird resolution than it may come out weird. Also some browsers liek IE and Netscape has different looks, and it may come out even weider.
They are probably other options, but it is a difficult issue as a website designer.
