CSS cross-resolution cross-browser problems

Hi,
I am having lots of cross-resolution (and also cross-browser) problems.
I would like to know what is the most recommended solution for this
type of issue:
* Should I use different CSS for different resolutions? I don't like
this solution because than I will have to maintain 2 large CSS files.
* Should I just query the resolution each time there's a problematic
div, and than add the relevant div accordingly? E.g.:
if (screen.width == 800)
{
document.write ('<div id=header-details-800-600>')
}
else
{
document.write ('<div id=header-details>')
}

This is also not such a "hot" solution.
It is also not validated by "w3c css validator".

Can anyone give me the main point of this problem's solution?
Is there a good tutorial/reference I can do?

Thanks,
Gabi

No, you need to have one CSS file that allows for flexible width. Let
the browser's window width define the width of your pages.

Nope, see above.

Are you up to speed on the difficulties in using the 1.1 .Net framework? Not if you are unaware of the 1,596 issues listed at KBAlertz (http://www.kbalertz.com/technology_3.aspx).
