its always a good practice to design pages for the least resolution 480*640 - a page designed for this will have no impact on higher resolutions.

800*600 is an accepted standard for web pages. Any page viewed on a screen with resolution set to lower than that will automatically use scroll bars if content runs outside of the screen resolution's boundaries. Any page viewed on a screen with resolution set to higher than that will work fine, but there will probably be a lot of dead area around your content. If you feel you need to design your pages for people with a lower resolution than 800*600, change your resolution to the lower resolution while designing to make sure that everything fits on your pages. I wouldn't bother messing with scripts, etc. to try to fix a problem like this.
Sometimes, I've seen people put messages on their web site that indicate the best viewed resolution for their site.

You could design several versions of the same web page and then use javascript to detect the resolution of the viewers settings and then load the appropriate page. But as I tell my students in javascript this is very time consuming. It is best to just design around a common resolution - like 640x480 and then let them deal with the smallness on the monitor or design around 800x600 and let the scroll bars show up.
