Default How do I make a webpage look the same on all resolutions?

I'm looking into building another site and when i've done them in the past I have found that when viewing my website on another computer with a lower resolution, The layout does'nt look the way i designed the site.

I Use adobe dreamweaver cs4 and i'm asking you guys which code would best be suited for me or a combination of codes. I'm average on html and I am a CSS beginner. I know the basics of CSS.

I'd like to have the webpage look almost the same no matter what resolution the user is using. I've researched this a bit and i've found some stuff regarding liquid websites.. But I decided to post in a forum to see if anyone can help me out.

Thanks

Default absolute positioning

While you cannot stop people from having any flexibility and some folks just need it due to poor eyesight, etc., you can set your page up to stay pretty much the way you want by having set widths for each column and using absolute positioning through your css.

<!--
body {
font: 100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background: #666666;
margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */
padding: 0;
text-align: center; /* this centers the container in IE 5* browsers. The text is then set to the left aligned default in the #container selector */
color: #000000;
}

/* Tips for Elastic layouts
1. Since the elastic layouts overall sizing is based on the user's default fonts size, they are more unpredictable. Used correctly, they are also more accessible for those that need larger fonts size since the line length remains proportionate.
2. Sizing of divs in this layout are based on the 100% font size in the body element. If you decrease the text size overall by using a font-size: 80% on the body element or the #container, remember that the entire layout will downsize proportionately. You may want to increase the widths of the various divs to compensate for this.
3. If font sizing is changed in differing amounts on each div instead of on the overall design (ie: #sidebar1 is given a 70% font size and #mainContent is given an 85% font size), this will proportionately change each of the divs overall size. You may want to adjust based on your final font sizing.

.oneColElsCtrHdr #header h1 {
margin: 0; /* zeroing the margin of the last element in the #header div will avoid margin collapse - an unexplainable space between divs. If the div has a border around it, this is not necessary as that also avoids the margin collapse */
