So I've coded a page using percentages in div's width settings and blocks are going too close to each other while resizing the browser's window. (Here's a screenshot).

So is there any tutorials or tips about responsive grid for someone not so smart as me? Will be very grateful for some useful links.
Sorry for bad English btw
About responsive you can see w3schools documents and examples:
https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_responsive.asp
and if you need an powerfull framework that contain responsive design use Bootstrap .
Flexbox was built for adaptive development.
Here's are a few straightforward examples:

Okay,I designed my webpage to my liking. Finally. But of course, I designed it on a Chromebook with a 1366x768 resolution. So when I looked on my 1600x900 resolution computer, everything is jacked up. How do I use responsive design to get my webpage to look the same on a 1600x900 resolution as it does on a 1366x768? That's just an example. I would eventually like to format my website for mobile phones, but right now, I am focusing on laptop and desktop resolutions. Any help is appreciated, I'm stumped.
If you are not using a framework, such as Bootstrap, then you would have to use CSS's media queries which would allow you to use specific CSS properties depending on the size of the screen of your output device. You can read a clear explanation, at the Mozilla Developer Network, here.
Learning to use them it's not a bad idea, but the most popular means to implement responsive design is using Twitter Bootstrap. Of course you would have to read a lot, but there are a lot of tutorials on how to use the framework and once you are familiar with the grid system and some of it's classes you can make your site responsive quite easily.
The official Bootstrap site and documentation can be found here.
Personally I would suggest you to use Bootstrap since it offers so much functionality without having to make everything from the ground.

I am new at html and css and when I increase my browser size my entire layout gets messed up and elements start overlapping one another. Can anyone show me a way to make my layout become responsive? Thank you in advance!
It depends on what you wanna do.
1) If you're learning HTML5 and CSS than you've got to watch towards bootstrap media queries to code fully responsive. To go further you will also need Javascript. There are also paying technologies.
2) If you just wanna make a responsive website without caring about the coding side, you should choose a CMS like Wordpress, Joomla etc... It will be faster for you and with a good responsive template, a very decent solution.
There is a nice tutorial in w3schools that uses we3.css stylesheet framework, very easy to start and see the entire problem. It uses images of different size and adpat itself to pc, tablets, smarthpones. Try it, I mean read, it is a short one, and will help you a lot, can you implement without adding that file, but changing easily yours.
I've recently been tasked with the of making a website for a department in my school. One problem I've encountered is that the webpage will appear differently on all screens and like to know if it exists some kind of tag or way in css to make it auto adjust on all screens.
There is no easy answer, certainly none that would fit here. Here's a good place to start:
Here is a good introduction to responsive web design, which will help you deal with how your sites will appear on different screen sizes, and different devices. Good luck.

Try using media queries. Please check:
Media Queries
Take a look at responsive CSS: W3Schools Responsive CSS. This includes information about how to make your own as well as examples of existing popular frameworks such as Bootstrap and Framework.
The issue:
I'm working simple html website that I want to work on any web browser size, so basically if you resize the browser the website will resize to and you won't have to scroll horizontally on the webpage.
I am assuming this has to do with CSS, I've been going thru my html book but unfortunately it doesn't cover this, I've also tried googling but I don't really now how to put it in words so basically google doesn't help me, at least not until I know what this is called.
The word you're looking for I guess would be responsive design / css.
If you are ok with reusing existing frameworks I'd suggest you try:
lessframworkd
responsive grid system
gskeleton *
bootstrap *
* are fullblown frameworks that include a lot of other features as well
Or have a look at this nice collection
You might be looking for these words:
CSS GRID SYSTEM ยป http://960.gs/
ADAPTIVE CSS DESIGN
FLUID CSS DESIGN
or even
MEDIA QUERY CSS
I've never done this before. The website I have just built is the second one I have ever built. There is a main container div and a header. I noticed that this simple html/css and js site looks terrible on mobile devices.
When it comes to making the site fluid are there any rules or approaches to make it quick and easy? If I just start changing all set pixel widths to percentages will the elements lose thir alignment in relation to each other? For example, the image in the main image slider is aligned, using pixels, based upon the position of the logo in the header.
Before I get started any pointers would be most appreciated. Here is the site: www.hauswoods.com
I would suggest you look into media queries instead, this will allow you to specify CSS related to different screen sizes. Yes, you could change your website to a liquid/fluid layout but with your current content, getting the slider and images to look right will be a headache.
A quick and easy approach would be to use a framework like Bootstrap (http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/)
I'm sure some people would argue that you won't learn if you use that (because it will do a lot for you), but I think you can learn by example.
Bootstrap uses progressive enhancement principles to improve UIs and uses something called 'Less' for making CSS a bit more generic (at the expense of some complexity). Still, you can use whichever bits you like from it. If you've got a greenfield site it's a good place to start. It supports fluid layouts and explains to you how your design will degrade on mobile devices with smaller screens.
There are plenty of good tutorials out there:

Below are IMHO some of the best JS-frameworks/html5-templaters that help with what you're trying to achieve. No need to re-invent the wheel.
Twitter Bootstrap
Foundation
CreateJS
Skeleton
HTML5 Boilerplate
HTML KickStart
Montage HTML5 Framework
SproutCore
Zebra
if you want your website to be fluid just use percentage instead of pixels.
.classname{
width: 80%;
}
