You should try and learn how to make web sites that don't have this restriction.

You can left or center align the site in the available resolution. So let's say your site only looks good at 600px, but my screen resolution is 1024px.

Code:

<body>
<div style="width:600px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto">
<!--your site code-->
</div>
</body>

You can also make it open a new window of the correct size. Hopefully it won't be larger than the available screen width for the user. Keep in mind that if you do this, some people won't see it at all (like me) b/c popups are disabled. Here's the code anyway.

Code:

<head>
<script language="javascript">
window.open('sized_page.html','NewWindow','width=600,height=400');
</script>
</head>

you can ask the user which version of the site they want to use. and then use cookies to remember.

the versions like 800x600 and 1024x768. second one just has extra images or a wider table. or something to fill the screen
