You don't have to use javascript - you can use media queries (http://
www.w3.org/TR/css3-mediaqueries/#device-width) to do things like have
a stylesheet that applies only to screens of a certain size or bigger.
I'm not sure how those interact with the varying screen densities
around (eg even though an iphone 4's screen is twice as wide and twice
as high as previous models, you'd probably want similar layout).
