How to change dimension of a webpage. I want to build a mobile website and thus the width should not be greater than 320. Is there any way to change dimension.
Also what should be the steps to build a mobile website.
I assume you are using a fixed width layout like the 960 grid system?
You have two options:
Build a separate 'mobile' version of your whole website, and switch to that by detecting the phone in the HTTP headers.
Use a fluid design, so your website design can squeeze into any space you put it into.
If you choose the latter, take a look at http://cssgrid.net/ - this allows your website to fit onto large widescreens and tiny mobile screens, with only one design!
Got the answer. By making a table of desired width. Working perfectly.

I'm currently developing a Web application using Bootstrap (latest) Dashboard sample : http://getbootstrap.com/examples/dashboard/ , as you can when you open this sample and resize the browser to a width less than 767px the list on the left side disappear,

So my goal is to change bootstrap so that it have a minimum width of 1000px so it (Application) can not apply the responsive of mobile and tablet BUT in the same time still adapt with larger screen. and the left list always appear.
Note that I already search here but nothing help
Bootstrap 3 is mobile-first so be default it is going to attempt to be responsive down to the smallest window size set. There are many ways to address your needs, the simplest without getting into LESS compiling (which would be the best way to do it) is to use the Bootstrap customization tool and set your screen widths before building your unique install of Bootstrap.

I'm having a problem with a website I've built: whenever I view the site on a smaller monitor or when I resize the browser window, the content gets covered by the other divs. I need the content to be fully visible, no matter what size the browser is.

Also, on the homepage the text gets cut off a little bit on the bottom row when I resize the browser. I need this row to increase in height a bit, which apparently can't be achieved by simply increasing the divs' height.

You should take a look at responsive web design. By using a fluid grid together with one or many media queries you can achieve what you're asking for.
Here's a good introduction if you'd like to get started. I can also highly recommend Ethan Marcotte's book about the subject!
The simplest way is not to define widths in pixels but using only width in %. You defined for example width: 960px; for <html> so if the browser window is less than 960px the whole content of this site won't be visible. You also defined the footer width and probably some more elements.
But the true is nowadays you should learn rather Responsive Web Design to create your page adjusting to device width. Many sites are being used by people on PC, laptops, tablets and mobile phones and you cannot create complex site to look nice on all those devices without using responsive design techniques.
I am developing struts2, Hibernate based web application, but its HTML, specially dynamic table, gets disturbed when it is accessed on different resolution systems.
I have already tried display tag, fixing headers of table and using percentage instead of pixels in CSS but still its happening, I want make a fixed design where all components should remain same on any resolution or it can auto adjust.
try using responsive tables these tables align according to devices and resolutions.
here is a plugin - LINK
or if you want to do it on your own look at media queries LINK

I need to put together website for mobile devices, so iPhones and various androids. The problem is I struggle with getting viewport right and other settings. My goal is so webpage would be coded for specific width e.g. 640px wide. Then once open device would zoom it in/out to the width of the screen so everything became larger or smaller same like after zoomig in/out via pinching on the device screen.
So I would like to develop it for lets say 640px width and depending on device it would scale up or down once open. So if device screen would be 960px wide it would automatically scale to this width via viewport somehow. Is this possible at all to have it coded for predefined width in css and have zoomed in/out as needed by device itself?
I apologize if the question is too generic, will explain details if needed.
EDIT:
So the most common approach if I understand correctly is to provide few layout versions for most commons screen sizes? Using media queries in css provide different values for widths, fonts sizes etc is that right?
If I decide however to go with percentages rather than media queries, given the design provided I think still would have a problem with resizing fonts as layout has images with text in it and text needs to be proportional to the image. Also percentages would take care of widths, height might be an issue though as the images would have to be resized vertically too. Some parts of the design would need to "fit" each other it seems and it would become problem I think.
Now if I simply build a website of certain width, lets say 640px I should be able to position everything on the screen with pixels, no diffeent from normal non-mobile website.
So I tried to set <meta name="viewport" content="width=640"> and inside of a page set width of widest container in css to 640px making page width 640px basically. If I understand correctly it will set up viewport to exact width of the page. So the page would be build as any other non-mobile webpage. User will have to adjust scale by pinching as when the page opens it is usually zoomed in/out for some reason. Is my understanding of what is happening here correct or is there some problem with it. Having it predefined size takes care of different mobile screen sizes as viewport is always same, fits into page width and only scale seems the problem, that is unless I'm missing something here.
I also should have mentioned that I need to do only portrait and make it only option, so no landscape view (that will be another question).
Would love to know your thoughts and I appreciate all the answers so far.
This is called Responsive Web Design when a website adjusts according to screen size...
You can make this kind of responsive website easily through CSS3 Media Queries:

Specify the width in percentage say width=100%,which automatically adjusts the width with the screen.
I am using Skeleton now and like how it manages screens of different sizes but its max width is 960px. Please recommend me some responsive CSS framework that is created and tested for screens up to 1920px width. I know I can update existing Skeleton instance for my needs but I'd like to try something ready-to-use.
Thanks.
Most grid frameworks don't tend to go right up to 1920, it's up to you to extend them the last bit. Check out these two for alternatives to Skeleton though:

I do believe you can set a width as high as you want with Zurb Foundation. Personally, I never go this high up, but see how it fares. It should size down appropriately. Foundation does come with a lot of extras, but you can opt out of them on the download page.
...actually, I just did a quick download, with just the responsive CSS and main styles and a couple of the pre-made HTML templates, and sized the window up. Works pretty well, I think. I set the max-width at 1920px. Figure out how many columns you need, etc. and test it out.
