I essentially want to be able to scale the entire site (images, elements, the whole sha-bang) to what ever browser size window the user is using. Anyone have success doing this and would be willing to share how?
I'm using HTML 5 by the way.

You need to start thinking about sizing your elements using percentages instead of pixels.
Take a look at this simple example and it may help you on your way. Good luck.

sorry about asking a question like this but I am just getting the hang on Dreamweaver and using margins seems harmless at the start but once I progressed in building my page objects seem to be out of place, is there something i can do to help with this?
Using margins everywhere will cause a problem when you resize your browser or check your website on a smaller screen.

What is the largest width/height that could be applied to the canvas element effectively? (only draw to the canvas once), also think of mobile etc.
Thanks!
If you are thinking of mobile and wanting the largest possible, those are working at contrary aims.
Mobile the largest reasonable depends on the device size for viewing. Your question sounds more like it is asking what is the largest canvas you can draw...which would depend on what you are putting on it and the hardware of the computer it is being rendered on.
There is not alot/any reasons to use super giant canvases, as far as I know.

I need to make a really complicated diagram for a website, in which the hierarchy will be a bit messy: arrows will go up and down, sometimes an element will point to several others, and sometimes there will be several elements pointing to the same one. I have found this method, but it doesn't allow more than one parent for an element and therefore won't do the trick in this case.
It has to be done in HTML/CSS, because my intention is to add some Javascript to change the content of the blocks dinamically.
This is an example of the level of complexity I need to achieve:

Another to look for is SpaceTree example by "Nicolas Garcia Belmonte" but not a pure CSS solution. It is compatible with IE and most of browsers. Definitely worth a try.

How can I be sure that my web site can be viewed in smatphones (with different resolutions and screen's size) without any problem.
Is there a way to convert the couple html/css of a classic web site to be compatible everywhere.
Best regards.
I use http://mite.keynote.com/ to help test websites on mobiles that I don't have physically available. It's not perfect, but it's about the best testing suite I've seen and will definitely give you an idea of whether or not your design will work.
As for the actual design methodology, just make sure you don't specify anything in pixels or points, all dimensions should be specified with em's (or ex, etc) or percentages. From there, it's just a matter or trying things to see if they work.

I'm just combining css files from other templates but I can figure out why I'm getting a split in the pages. Please take a look here, might need to widen it up to see the problem.

It is hard to describe but when I re-size the browser I'm getting a very weird effect. Like two windows moving apart. Does anyone have any guidance I can follow to fix the problem?
Screenshot:
overflow:hidden is the main culprit. Remove it, and everything "magically" shows up again.
