CSS layout that fits resolution?

Found this article whilst reading some of the items on my web news page: Resolution-dependant CSS layout.
A quote from the article:
Speaking entirely visually, there’s quite a few technologies in flux at the moment that affect web design—font support, CSS 1/2/3, Standards support, SVG—but I would consider most of these to be efficiency gains; they don’t affect what we do, so much as how we do it. Monitor resolution, however, I think has the capability to affect the fundamental design of web pages”
Basically, the layout of his sample page will change according to the resolution of the monitor. You can see the action by resizing the browser and refreshing the sample page. Viola! The layout changes! There are other sites that use a similar approach:

- http://www.theage.com.au/
It’s interesting to see this in action; great to see that people don’t want to leave out those at 800×600 resolution and have found ways to accomodate web design to fit that need.
