I want to design a page that expands/contracts depending with the screen resolution or size. Any info will be appreciated.

start by googling 'fluid css layout'.
then get a good book on CSS and study it.

You will need to define your width as a percentage, for example <table width="70%"> or define it within your style sheet, which is most likely the preferred way.

while correct, that does not quiet cover expanding the content
vertically, does it? most 'vertical things' in css are rather tricky,
that's why i recommend getting a good book. you can, of course, get all
the info from various blogs and websites, but you still may want to have
that book as an offline reference...

For vertical, you can add the height attribute using a percentage in addition to the width. You just have to make sure that you dont have any constraints around it limiting its size.

Theoretically, you could use JavaScript to attempt to determine the viewer's screen resolution. This will work for some people, but is considered pretty much obsolete practice nowadays. Dictating the width of your pages as a percentage will work for the most part, but is only a half step better than the JavaScript approach.

The best solution, as suggested, is to learn effective CSS coding practices.
