Because it looks bad in massive and tiny resolutions.

Thanks.

You see one way of dealing with the problem in Yahoo! Answers. The content of these pages is put in a wrapper just 750 pixels wide, so any screen from 800 pixels up will show the same thing. The downside is that there's a lot of border in a 1600 pixel wide display. But otherwise, your pages are just going to vary depending on the visitor's screen resolution, browser, and default settings.

I like to design for 1024x768, because it's probably the most common resolution, but check to make sure the page doesn't fall apart completely at 800 or 1600 pixels wide. Delivering pages to handhelds and other tiny screens is another issue entirely, for which you have to use css @media to select alternate layouts.

Css does provide max-width and min-width properties, but they're not of much use, given that IE doesn't support them.

That will require some heavy knowledge of CSS. But it's still impossible to make a website look the same in every resolution available.
