It used to be the case that we could design online applications for different systems by querying which browser, more which platform, it was running on. But with a half dozen major operating systems, four major browsers (each with multiple versions), and dozens of platforms, raging from tiny mobile phones to full-size flat screen TVs, it's not possible to do this any more. Enter Responsive Web Design, "a combination of fluid grids and images with media queries to change layout based on the size of a device viewport." This post is a good summary, but you really want to follow the links to get a full overview of the subject. This link, for example, gives the reader some really good examples of responsive design.
