width: 90%;
not
width: 900px;

Well, there isn't a special code for this. It is the way your site is build. If you use fixed sizes for divs or tables than your site will always be the same size no matter what screen you use.
But if you define the with of your divs (and all other elements that have sizes) as ...% it will automatically take the proper size, that is, the size of the screen you are using.
With the size of the screen I mean, the inner-size of the browser window. And when the browser is set to full screen, the site will be adjusted accordingly.

Yes. Take a look at the following code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
<div style="width:600px; height:200px; background-color:yellow;"></div>
<div style="width:60%; height:200px; background-color:red;"></div>
</body>
</html>If you resize the browser window, notice that the yellow box stays as it is, but the red one will resize automatically.

If I remember right, some browsers don't know what to do when you define the height in %. But you can always try, just change the height from 200px to 40%.
Firefox 3 under Linux knows what do and will display the red box properly.
