Checking code on one of C-Net pages, I found following JS example, which can 
do the trick if fixed layout (like width: 4em; ) is not o.k.

<!--
var docWidth=0;

if(window.innerWidth)
{ docWidth=document.innerWidth;
}
else if(document.body)
{ docWidth=document.body.clientWidth;
}
if(docWidth<700)
{ document.write("<br clear=\"all\" />");
}
// -->

You can "extract" actual width of document (and its height) using DOM methods 
and/or JS bindings, and re-layout document in accordance
