You'd have to define what you mean by "same size". I think what you mean is, you want your fonts/windows/graphics to all have the same proportion/ratio to screen resolution, regardless of resolution.

Quick answer: sure, but it's a LOT of work, starting with JavaScript coding, which has cross-browser issues, and then creating lots of variations of all your graphic objects.

Opinion: bad idea. Design your site to look good at either 800x600, or 1024x768, and let your users scroll if they need to. It's common, they expect it, and trying to compensate for resolution creates more usability issues than it solves.
